MandrakeSoft, the maker of the popular Mandrake Linux
distribution, today announced the release of MandrakeMove, a
complete Linux desktop system that runs “on the fly” from a single
bootable CD. MandrakeMove is a new product designed for the PC
platform that requires no installation process and cleverly uses a
USB key to save personal data. Pricing starts at $19.90.
MandrakeMove is Mandrake Linux with “live CD” technology. It
includes everything needed for Internet, Office and Multimedia
tasks on a single bootable CD, including a full-featured office
suite compatible with Microsoft Office documents.
MandrakeMove is a complete portable productivity tool for
computer users who are “on the move” and who require a light and
full-featured operating system (complete with stored personal data)
without the burden of lugging around laptop. Just insert
MandrakeMove into a CD-ROM drive, boot from the disc, and a few
seconds later enjoy a complete and full-featured Mandrake Linux
operating system.
MandrakeMove is also an ideal way to help expand Linux adoption
as it doesn’t require installation and may be used without advanced
knowledge of computing.
“MandrakeMove is an impressive new product that marks an
important step in the way computers are used. This is truly a
‘non-geek’ product that will people experience Linux for the first
time, although I’m certain computer enthusiasts will love it as
well! MandrakeMove fits perfectly within our approach of bringing
Linux technology to the largest number of people”, said
François Bancilhon, CEO of MandrakeSoft.
MandrakeMove is sure to become one of this season’s “hot
techno-gift” with prices starting at $19.90.
