Eee PC-Friendly Spring From Mandriva S.A.

Mandriva Linux is a predominantly KDE-centric Linux distribution originating from France. This desktop-oriented Linux distribution which began its production in 1998 owes its popularity to its ease of installation and graphical productive draktools. I decided to review Mandriva 2008 Spring (aka Mandriva Linux 2008.1) when I got to know that, this new Spring edition has a full support for the Asus Eee PC and also improved support for mobile device synchronization.

 

On the desktop, you will have the KDE 3.5.9, GNOME 2.22.0, Xfce 4.4.2 and IceWM 1.3.1 to choose from while under the hood the system is powered by Linux kernel 2.6.24.4, gcc 4.2.3, glibc 2.7, X.Org 7.3, compiz 0.7.2, etc. Popular applications which have been bundled in this 2008 Spring edition are OpenOffice.org 2.4.0, Firefox 2.0.0.13, Gimp 2.4.5, K3b 1.0.4, Amarok 1.4.8, Pidgin 2.4.1, MPlayer 1.0rc2, etc.
