Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris 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.

Windows hell?

It's funny how you said you were using MandrakeMove to get yourself out of Windows hell. If you ask me from reading your article, the amount of time and energy you spent trying to get Mandrake working sure sounds like you jumped from Windows hell to Linux hell. Was it really worth it?

I've tried MandrakeMove as well as Knoppix and I have to say I much prefer Knoppix. It comes with much more useful software and it ran much better on my hardware. Maybe you should give it a whirl.
