Review: Mandriva 2009

Overview:

Mandriva Linux Powerpack is one of three editions of the Linux desktop published by Mandriva, the French Linux software publisher. The others are Mandriva Linux One and Mandriva Linux Free, both of which are free to download and use. Mandriva Linux Powerpack is the commercial edition, and costs 49 EUR, or 62 USD. In this tutorial, we take a somewhat detailed review of Mandriva Linux Powerpack 2009, which was released on October 9, 2008

One thing that could negate (although not completely) the need for a “BACK” button is that at the end of the installation, you have the option to make changes
