CNET’s review of Mandrake’s latest is very enthusiastic, if a
little brief, giving the distro an “Editor’s Choice” award.
“Simply put, no other distribution beats the polished
user experience offered by Linux-Mandrake 8.0. If you’re currently
running release 7.2, version 8.0 provides a seamless upgrade. And
if you’ve never tried Linux-Mandrake, version 8.0’s amazing level
of automation and its decked-out installation GUI provide the
perfect Linux launching point. Featuring a GUI face-lift and the
latest versions of the kernel, Xfree86, GNOME and KDE,
Linux-Mandrake 8.0 sits squarely at the forefront of powerful yet
easy-to-use distributions.”
