I want to start off by saying that MandrakeMove is an incredible distribution and I am going to focus on some rather particular points in this review. My hope is to make the community aware of some of the outstanding issues with running MandrakeMove and not to discredit the countless hours Mandrake employees spent on making such a polished product. We all want Linux to succeed and that can only be accomplished by continuing to test, report and ask why or why not? The lifecycle of linux is like an organism, it has to keep breathing to stay alive.

hi, im new to linux in general (using windows/mac os mostly) and heard about mandrakemove. i liked the idea and decided to check it out to see if it would be a good fit for me. i downloaded the free version iso and put it on cdr. i decided to try my "old" toshiba satellite 1800 (think i bought it in 2000~) changed the boot priority and away i went. started up no problems (~screen resol. set to 800x600~) changed the resolution and checked out the platform. i definatley liked what i saw. connecting to internet was no problem (everything seemed to be configured properly). i would love to see this idea undergo further development and after trying out the free version i am now ordering a boxed version, as well as opening myself to "other" linux os's.
one con for this product: my laptop is a lame celeron800 with 256soDIMM and a 24x? cd drive. i think they reccomend 32x? anyhow, i felt my system was limiting the power of this cool little os (but hinestly it wasnt that bad). all in all i like what i see and i will now seek to support linux where it applies usefully to me.
