《Mandriva 2008 加强版》(Mandriva 2008 PowerPack)32位及64位版本[ISO]

本系统已经经过本人电脑测试可以正常安装和使用。
安装过程中按f2选择简体中文，安装完之后就是中文界面了。




Powerpack：DVD 版本，包括技术支持、服务、以及重要的第三方私有软件，如 LinDVD、Cedega、Fluendo multimedia codecs 等，而这些东西在其它版本里是没有的。
Mandriva Linux来自欧洲最大的Linux厂商之一Mandrakesoft，前身是Mandrake Linux，已有9年历史，其宗旨是让Linux对所有人都更易于使用。今天，Mandriva Linux 2008的最终正式版终于发布了。

Mandriva Linux 2008采用了全新的Linux内核2.6.22.9，并且集成了功能更为强大的硬件检测功能，能够支持更多的设备，比如最新的显卡、声卡和Wi-Fi芯片，新的Mandriva Linux 2008操作系统都能够很好的支持，总之通过新操作系统的硬件检测系统，我们可以很方便的安装AGP显卡和其他的PCI设备，系统会自动选择最佳的驱动来支持所添加的硬件设备，而且基本不会有兼容性的问题出现，这和之前的Mandriva Linux操作系统比起来是一个很大的进步，性能进一步加强。

Mandriva Linux 2008还为我们带来了Gnome 2.20、KDE 3.5.7、XFCE 4.4.1桌面操作界面，如果你拥有更好的显卡的话，那么你还可以选择性能更强，画面也更美观的Compiz Fusion 0.5.2和Metisse 3-D等具有3D效果的全新界面。

Mandriva Linux 2008 包括以下几种版本：

1. One：单 CD 版本，包括最新的私有驱动，可免费下载。此版本既可以作为 Live CD 使用，也能够安装到硬盘上。
2. Powerpack：DVD 版本，包括技术支持、服务、以及重要的第三方私有软件，如 LinDVD、Cedega、Fluendo multimedia codecs 等，需付费购买。
3. Free：3 CD/1 DVD 版本，仅包含自由开源软件，可免费下载。
Mandriva Linux 的强项:
运行 Mandriva Linux 操作系统的计算机使用的方便程度可以和使用 Windows 或 Mac OS 的计算机相比 -- 这是一个许多 IT 媒体承认的事实。CNET (非常流行的技术在线杂志)将 Mandrivalinux 授予“编辑选择奖”，并发表评论说“新用户，特别是那些想要查找 Windows 或 Mac OS 的简单快速的替代品的用户，将被 Linux 世界中居然存在这么一种平稳方便的转换过程深深震撼。”

作为比较，Mandriva Linux PowerPack 包含了数千多个高质量的应用程序，完整的办公组件程序，以及安装支持；而功能大体相同的 Microsoft Windows + MS Office 将要花费大约十倍的价格。

Mandriva Linux 需要更少的维护，因为其软件管理系统会自动处理依赖关系并避免应用程序间的冲突。除此以外，Mandrivaupdate 工具允许通过 Internet 免费轻松的进行更新 -- 如果想要保持最新的安全相关的软件更新，这无疑是理想的方式。

由于 Linux 的稳定性，典型的 Mandriva Linux 系统可以运行数月而无需重新启动。除此以外，Mandrivalinux 的 i586 版本专为奔腾级别(及兼容处理器)所优化，这使得在此硬件上能够获得最高的性能。

在过去十年的广泛使用中，仅有屈指可数的几个病毒感染 Linux。这种强免疫性要归功于系统的基础架构。这一架构由相互无关的层组成，每层都有特定的功能和严格的许可。另外，普通用户在 Linux 系统中是被严格限制的角色；只有“root”用户(管理员)拥有可能导致系统损坏的权力。

x86, PPC, AMD64 和 IA64 的版本已存在


与其它 Linux 操作系统的区别:

Mandriva Linux 所使用的图形化安装程序已经被公认为是最好的安装程序。它使得 Mandrivalinux 提供了效率最高的硬件检测。


除了命令行之外，系统管理还有图形化界面。Mandriva Linux 操作系统最大程度上使用用户界面进行集成管理，这彻底打破了 Linux 系统只能用命令行或者文本方式管理的旧有观念。


友好和集成的环境
与像 KDE 和 GNOME 这样界面友好的图形化环境的完美集成，使得操作非常舒适易用。


预先配置的安全级别
Mandriva Linux 提供了预先配置的安全级别。这样用户就可以选择专为他们自己的计算机所设计的目标等级。


中心化配置系统
感谢 Mandriva Linux 控制中心，用户可以使用同一程序管理整个系统。

Mandriva Linux 2008 is coming this September. The planned schedule for pre-releases and the final release is here. The full, detailed technical specifications for the new release are here. This page provides a run down of the biggest new versions and features that will be coming with Mandriva Linux 2008. There will likely be other new features added as we move through the development cycle, but here's the stuff we're already pretty sure you'll be seeing in the next release.

Mandriva Linux 2008 includes the following versions of the major distribution components: kernel 2.6.22, X.org 7.2, KDE 3.5.7, GNOME 2.19.6, Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.6, OpenOffice.org 2.2. Other major new features are the merging of the Beryl and Compiz 3D desktop technologies into Compiz Fusion, a new network management tool, a Windows documents and settings migration tool, and support for WPA-EAP. You can find an introduction to the most interesting new features in What's coming in Mandriva Linux 2008.

Mandriva Linux 2008 is the ultimate version of Mandriva Linux. It is the fruit of the convergence of three technologies: Mandriva, Conectiva and Lycoris.

Mandriva Linux 2008 is also more easy-to-use, more user-friendly and more powerful. It is ideal for the needs of all customers, from the beginner to the SOHO user.

Mandriva Linux 2008 is available in three editions: One, Powerpack and Free, for both i586 and x86-64 architectures. One and Free can be downloaded free of charge from official Mandriva mirrors and via BitTorrent.

Mandriva Linux (formerly known as Mandrake Linux) was created in 1998 with the goal of making Linux easier to use for everyone. At that time, Linux was already well-known as a powerful and stable operating system.

With this innovative approach, Mandriva offers all the power and stability of Linux to both individuals and professional users in an easy-to-use and pleasant environment. Thousands of new users are discovering Linux each and every day and finding it a complete replacement for their previous operating system. Linux as a server or workstation has no reason to be jealous of any other more established operating systems.

Free/Open Source Free Software licensing govern the development and redistribution of Mandriva Linux. FOSS licensing provides everyone the right to copy, distribute, examine, modify and improve the system as long as the results of these modifications are returned to the community. It is this development model that allows Mandrivalinux Linux to collect the best ideas from developers & users from across the globe to result in a rich variety of techniques and solutions.

Here are some key features of "Mandriva Linux":

· A computer running the Mandriva Linux operating system can be as easy to use as a computer which uses Windows or Mac OS -- a fact which has been Confirmed by many IT publications. CNET (a popular technical online magazine) awarded Mandrivalinux Linux their "Editor's Choice" saying: "New users, especially those looking for a quick and easy alternative to Windows or the Mac OS, will be hard pressed to find a smoother, easier transition to the world of Linux."
· For comparison, the Mandriva Linux PowerPack contains thousands high-quality applications including a complete Office Suite, plus installation support, for a cost of approximately 10 times less than the equivalent Microsoft Windows + MS Office cost, which comes without any technical support.
· Mandriva Linux requires little maintenance as its software management system automatically handles dependency issues and avoids conflicts between applications. Additionally, the MandrivaUpdate utility allows free and easy updates through the Internet -- this is an ideal way to stay current with the latest security-related software updates.
· Due to the strength of Linux, a typical Mandriva Linux system can run for months without a reboot. Additionally, the i586 version of Mandrivalinux Linux is optimized for Pentium class (and compatible processors) to provide the highest performance on this hardware.
· In over ten years of widespread use, only a few rumored viruses have ever been recorded that affect Linux. This strong immunity can be explained by the fundamental architecture of the system which consists of independent layers that have specific features and strict permissions. Additionally, normal users have a strict and limited role on a Linux system; it's only the "root" user (administrator) who has the power to expose an entire system to possible danger.
· Versions exist for x86, PPC, AMD64 and IA64.

Differences with other Linux operating systems:
· With a graphical installation process recognized by many as the best available, Mandriva Linux offers the most advanced and efficient hardware detection.
· A graphical approach to system administration, in addition to the command line, makes Mandriva Linux the operating system which takes integration and management of a user interface the furthest to dispel the image of a Linux system managed only via command line or text mode.
· Friendly and integrated environments
· Perfect integration of user-friendly graphical environments such as KDE and GNOME provide comfort and ease-of-use.
· Several pre-configured security levels
· Mandriva Linux offers several pre-configured levels of security. A user can therefore choose a desired degree of security specifically for their computer.
· Centralized configuration system
· Thanks to the Mandriva Linux Control Center, a user can resort to a single panel to administer the entire system.

Who uses Mandriva Linux?
· Individual users without specific IT knowledge who require a Linux distribution that is simple to use. Mandriva Linux is by far the easiest and the most comprehensive.
· Experienced users who prefer not spending hours installing and configuring their Linux machine. Mandriva Linux is the most effortless Linux system to install and maintain.
· Professionals who need powerful and stable systems. Mandriva Linux is one of the most complete Linux distributions and is quickly becoming one of the most favored systems in businesses (see Mandriva's customer case studies for many examples of Mandriva in the workplace).

A few examples of how Mandriva Linux is being used :

Personal purposes:

· Office (OpenOffice.org, KOffice, Abiword, Gnumeric)
