Mandriva - This is amazing!!!!

[Dudeking]

Jesus people!! Who says linux has basic GUI???
Got fed up with Ubuntu I had that distro sooo much lol

The Graphical Interface on this thing is amazing, I have used vista and this is 10000000x better!!!
The 3d desktop and all the effects!! God this is amazing!!!
Every one, balls to Vista its a rip off!!

I am a complete noob when it comes to linux and I managed to install this easy, im loving it!! I can't explain how amazing this really is!!!! Give it a go, here is the 3d desktop; yoo can have 4 desktops open at once with different things on each one say music on one, internet on one office on an other.

Typo in title.....mandriva

Eddie - I fixed it - Terry

Yes I agree but the problem I am having now is how to convert people, I am slowly changing my friends to it.

[Dudeking]

Well im going to get all my friends using this now :)

My computer has always had linux on but this is the first distro that I am considering putting on my laptop!!

I like the fact that you can pick a DVD or a CD download, DVD is bundled with all the crap RPM's and CD just has the basics, just what you need :)

[Dudeking]

OMG this distro has Nvida drivers with it!!! This is wicked :)

Calm down young Eddie

[Dudeking]

Noo seriously BM move to linux!!
Do you have an old computer in your house or even your main computer. Put mandriva on it, forget about vista and other M$ junk, this is the real stuff!!

I can see this bringing a whole bunch of people to Linux, and now that Dell is offering it as a Pre install I can see windows dieing out :D:D

Wooo!!! lol

Any Linux distro could do that if you wanted it to Dudeking. Just install Compiz or Beryl (they're set to merge into one project sometime in the future)

The installation process may be easy or hard depending on you're distro, personally I don't care one bit about those GUIs

And Dudeking, I allready have 4 desktops, but not as a cube. That's the default

Did you download it or get the disc? I wouldnt mind trying it out

[Dudeking]

I usually get the disks but we just got 3meg broadband so I downloaded this one.
Torrenting them come really quick :)

[purestlight]

Ive just found a disc with 6 Linux flavours on it but I dont know what to do with it, Ive forgotten what to do with ISO files :rolleyes:

[Dudeking]

Use CD BurnerXP pro 3 (its free) to write a disk from an image file.

Hello Eddie,

I am going to give this one a try, it downloaded much faster than the Ubuntu linux. And it may give me what I am looking for to replace my Media Center 2005 software. I will keep you guys up to date on what happens with my load tonight.

[Dudeking]

Hetzer ^^ how did it go?

[hetzer]

Hello there

Well just to let do know everything went very well with this, but I am going to build a new system to just run this. So as for doing the install I am going to have to wait. Thank god for an OS that runs so well off the DVD.:D

Glad to hear it, hope the install goes well :)
