This is a pocket guide to installing Mandrake with a brief
review thrown in for good measure. It does a good job of explaining
how to prepare for an install and where to find some needed
information before plunging in, and it’s largely aimed at people
who have never installed Mandrake before. People who are curious
about just what a Mandrake install looks like might want to look
in, too.
“Anyone who is an avid Linux user has his or her own
favorite distribution. When I first started using Linux, in 1997, I
went through five distributions before settling on Mandrake. At the
time, Mandrake was the easiest and friendliest to install for a
newbie. It has continued this tradition and is now considered one
of the top distributions in the World, beating the big dog, Red
Hat, last year in December, with 28% of the market share. The true
beauty of Mandrake is immediately apparent during the installation.
It has so much flexibility during the install process that a user
can take as much or as little control as he or she wants. Plus, the
number of packages assembled with Mandrake is nothing short of
astounding. You get a choice of over 11 graphical user interfaces,
two office suites, games and more apps than you’ll know what to do
with.”
