“Since the ActiveWin.Com inception no Linux software was ever
tested. Indeed our site is primarily dedicated to the Microsoft
world, and so it doesn’t cover Linux. However there’s a growing
anti-Microsoft feeling, which we don’t share at all, and Linux is
surely its best competitor. That’s why we have decided to review
and test Mandrake Deluxe 7.2 what we consider to be one of the best
compromises between the ease of use of Windows and the several
advantages of Linux. Linux is a free and open source operating
system, everyone can tweak, change, and modify to best fit his or
her need. However this liberty has some limits since the main
drawback of Linux is that it remains hard to use. That’s where
MandrakeSoft focused their efforts to bridge the gap in the 7.2
Mandrake distribution between the unrivalled Windows Millennium
ease of use & the unprecedented power of Linux. This new
release 7.2 has been thought to simplify further our hard lives. Is
that true? That’s what we’ll see in this review.’
