Software Linux-Mandrake Complete 7.0

Domain Name Com's - Software : Linux-Mandrake Complete 7.0


  

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Beautiful OS but needs work
Linux-Mandrake 7.0 is arcaic now, (Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Linux-Mandrake 8.2 are much better) I couldn't get on the internet with this version. Upside: 7.0 is fast on arcaic computers.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Forget the techincal support
If you're buying this box for the support or buying support from Mandrake, then forget it. I couldn't even get the installation disk to boot (something to do with Mandrake having problems with a DVD ROM, despite the fact that every other Linux distribution disk I tried worked), and a request for support only led to a rather dense suggestion and then a referral of my problem to "level 3 support". The latter never responded, not once, not to say "your problem is progressing", not even a "your problem is too hard". Of course "level 3 support" is /dev/null.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Give it a try!
I found the Linux Mandrake to be a wonderful operating system even for the beginner. The installation was easier than Windows 98 and took half the time to install. The Mandrake comes loaded with hundreds of applications including Sun's Star Office which to me now is a must have. (I could write a whole other review about Star Office.) For the Linux newbee I would suggest to know what componets you have in your computer and cross reference them with the Mandrake web site to see if they are supported. Also read the documentation before you install and if you can afford it, give Linux its own hard drive. However if you don't have the luxuary of having a second hard drive, Linux Mandrake can prove to be a good neighbor with Windows. I would recommend this OS to anyone who is willing to learn and wants to try something new. I have tried other flavors of Linux and so far the Mandrake has proved to be my favorite.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Terrible, Just Terrible.
I bought Linux with high exceptations, however when I got home and tried to install it took several hours and when I got to the X - Windows config screen in the DRAKX installer my system froze and would have to reinstall Lynux all over again. On the third time I got the config to work, but found myself at the UNIX command line. Having absolutly no experience with UNIX I was confused. After trying a few things about the only thing I could do was to log on and access a help file. Big Deal.

(ignore my earlier review.)
I found I had made a slight mis-configeration in the setup program, which is why I didn't work. Now of course Linux is my operating system and it is working quite nicely, The problem above was all human error and failure to read the instructions. After reading the manual I discovered what I did wrong and corrected it.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A voice from the Dark Side looking for the light.....
I really don't care for Windows but, it is all I know and have ever used. That makes me a "Newbie" to Linux. Most of the install went very trouble free with the exception of the last step, Configure X. The drivers for the Intel 810 Chipset for graphics are not there nor was My make of Monitor(HP Pavilion-M50). I am having to settle for less than optimum resolution, 640 x 480 in 16-color. This makes for an enormous graphical user interface and very unpleasant work environment. Sure, there are drivers out there to fix this. However, when you know very little about an operating system and the function there of, you are at a pretty big disadvantage in getting the bugs worked out. The reason I was going to Linux was to learn a little about UNIX, and do away with the buggy Windows 9x. If a person, new to Linux, has trouble the first day with install and getting everything setup, it can be a real downer. I really want to learn the Linux OS, and I will but, not before there is a trial by fire to get everything working correctly. If you are new to Linux be prepared for fixes, bug reports, etc... Upside, the fixes are free for the most part, unlike Windows. Downside, you will have to know something about UNIX before attempting a fix. I am sure that all the Linux-UNIX purist will slam this review. Just remember, I am new to Linux and I speak from a beginner's view point. Not someone who has several years of experience using Linux-Unix, under their belt.
