Mandriva Linux (formerly known as Mandrake Linux) was created in 1998 with the goal of making Linux easier to use for everyone. At that time, Linux was already well-known as a powerful and stable operating system.

With this innovative approach, Mandriva offers all the power and stability of Linux to both individuals and professional users in an easy-to-use and pleasant environment. Thousands of new users are discovering Linux each and every day and finding it a complete replacement for their previous operating system. Linux as a server or workstation has no reason to be jealous of any other more established operating systems.
Free/Open Source Free Software licensing govern the development and redistribution of Mandriva Linux. FOSS licensing provides everyone the right to copy, distribute, examine, modify and improve the system as long as the results of these modifications are returned to the community. It is this development model that allows Mandrivalinux Linux to collect the best ideas from developers & users from across the globe to result in a rich variety of techniques and solutions.

Mandriva Linux -> "For Advanced users" nice joke! put it in "For Beginners", where it belongs
lol

I got serious problems with installing it...

Great distro, especially the brandnew 2007 (released in two days). Great hardware detection, great for newcomers AND experienced users. One of the best all-purpose distros available.

In my opinion Mandriva still takes the cake as far as distro ease of use is concerned. The installer is dead simple (yet has an advanced mode) but the most important part is once you get it installed, it has the most complete set of utilities to configure and maintain your system which are accessible from a single "control panel". Plus, there is the **other** configuration utility included in Mandriva that everybody forgets: vi(m) Yes, you can use vi to configure your Mandriva and be happy. That's why I like Mandriva, choice: - If I'm lazy or I want to show off, I use the Mandriva Control Center. - If I want to configure something fast, screen + vi I wonder if those who call Mandriva a n00b distro have ever try it to use Mandriva as a serious distro. I do.
