With this software, first-time Linux users can try the
Linux environment without losing the Windows(R) functionality that
they are familiar with. Linux for Windows 7.1 includes the
Linux-Mandrake 7.1 operating system, most noted for its ease of use
and user-friendly tools.

“Linux for Windows 7.1 allows PC users to experience Linux on a
Windows system in 3 easy steps. With auto-run, the program
automatically asks users if they would like the full Linux
installation or the Linux for Windows installation. Upon choosing
Linux for Windows, users will follow 3 easy steps. First, set the
amount of hard drive space the user wants to dedicate to Linux and
how it will boot. Second, follow the step-by-step install of the
most up-to-date Linux functionality with the Linux-Mandrake 7.1
operating system. Third, click the desktop icon to use Linux.”

“The technology included with Linux for Windows 7.1 removes the
need for disk partitioning or reformatting, thus making an
excellent gateway for new users interested in Linux. Free 24-hour
technical support is also provided via Internet and fax for
installation issues.”
