Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris I have been using Linux since 1993. I installed the first version of Slackware on a 16MB 386sx-25. Since then I have been using it almost exclusively on one or more of my PCs. So I consider myself as a bit of an expert. I have been using computers since 1982 mostly PCs, but also VAX mainframes and SPARC systems. Operating systems (and GUIs) I have been using include CP/M, DOS, Windows from Version 2 to XP, Geos, Beos, SCO Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and quite a few Linux Distros.

I have been using mandrake since MDK 8.0, and i have found out that an easy way to update the software using urpmi is going to easy urpmi (http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php) and selec the options you need, ona source of file to look at is Penguin Liberation Front (plf), there can be found any tipe of software left out of the distro for pettent an licence isues.
Have a look, it's quite handly
