Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris MandrakeSoft and Pearson Education sent us over a copy of their latest "pro" edition of the popular Linux Mandrake 9.0. We already wrote a review about Linux Mandrake 9.0, so this is going to be a review of the ProSuite deal specifically and what you get for $199 USD RPP (easily found for around $175 USD in the market). Update: Apparently, StarOffice 6.0 is included in its full version with the distribution. Too bad Mandrake does such a poor job and include its RPMs along with some hundreds other demos in the two Commercial CDs, without saying a word about it (or where to find it) in the "Commercial Software Guide" booklet or another really prominent place.

Mandrake Listen

Listen to Rajan R,

He has written some of the things I have been thinking.

eg. The Mandrake installer asking too many questions.

If Rajan R has a job, too bad Mandrake. But if he doesn't you should give him a job pretty high up, making decisions. Because what he says makes sense.

I installed Mandrake 9.0 from CD's on the cover of a Comp. Magazine. It lasted 1 hour on my system.

They have all this great and available technology, they should ask themselves what should we do with it.

Be the innovator not the replicator.
