There will be some installation demos too! o Linux-Mandrake in Garden Grove ------------------------------ Linux-Mandrake has been choosen in Garden Grove, USA for daily work: "(...) The install went flawlessly and all eight of my staff wanted copies to take home and load it on their personal machines. We have since loaded it on three of our five production servers and on all my four Systems Analysts machines. We chose Mandrake because of KDE integration with Red Hat.(...)" Robert Shingledecker - Information Systems Manager - City of Garden Grove o Linux-Mandrake on ZDTV ---------------------- Linux-Mandrake has recently been shown on ZDTV (ZDNet channel - http://www.zdtv.com). We don't know exactly when, but: "Hi, I was watching zdtv (a cable tv channel here in the states all about the internet and computers. Anyway this one show has been talking more and more about linux and mandrake especialy." Thank you Ken Ross for the information. In fact, it seems that the discussion focused on our ISO9660 Mandrake image (for CD burning) (http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.html), which is very very popular! o Linux-Mandrake PowerPack ------------------------ Many users wrote to us and asked when the PowerPack will be available. We apologize for the delay, but now the good news: the production has been started and it will be available very soon. All details about the Linux-Mandrake PowerPack Edition will be available next week. Expect some good surprises ;-) o Linux-Mandrake Installation & Use Guide --------------------------------------- Our Installation and Use Guide is available online at: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/userguide/ Please report any bug or contribution to [EMAIL PROTECTED] :-) Greets, Gael. ------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.linux-mandrake.com ------------------------------------------------------------- What is Linux-Mandrake exactly? ------------------------------ Linux-Mandrake is an updated Red Hat Linux, with the KDE graphical desktop fully integrated and preconfigured in it. Those two parts have been modified and improved to work properly together. Linux-Mandrake is 100% compatible with RedHat Linux. Main goals of this new distribution: ----------------------------------- - we wish to provide a working and easy-to-install linux-distribution for people who do not want to spend too much time in installation and configuration of their Linux system : just install it and USE IT. - we wish to provide a very attractive, easy-to-use, Linux System for newbies coming from the very common OS that you know ;-) For example, after having your new Linux-Mandrake installed, just type `startx' and your beautiful KDE graphical environment arrives without crying :-) Now, just click on the cd-rom icon (on your desktop) to mount and use your cd-rom (it's the same for floppy disks). This is very easy and you do not need to be superuser (root) for that! - we wish to provide a new distribution in a well-known linux environment (Red Hat Linux) Current version: --------------- - Mandrake 5.2 (Leeloo) ------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.linux-mandrake.com ------------------------------------------------------------- -- < Gael DUVAL - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://linuxmandrake.com > QPL : "With the release of this license, KDE and the Qt Free Edition are truly Open Source(tm)".
