    Bonjour.

    un excellent alternatif pour le troisième monde. les licences mandriva sont les plus économiques par rapport aux schémas privatives. C’est a dire , la meilleur mélange parmi l’open source, la Qualité et la facilité a l’usage.

    Nous sommes tous heureuses de pouvoir en utiliser le système d’exploitation mandriva Linux dans l’Université de Zulia au Venezuela.

    Mandriva, la bonheur pour tous les utilisateurs du monde libre!

    Thanks for the excellent release. Mandriva is simply the best KDE deistribution and in my opinion the best for people new to Linux. Big thanks to all working hard on making all this possible, including translators for making it available in Slovenian language.

  15. Genta says:

    Mandrake was my first distro !! Great Work !!

  16. Isra says:

    I forget it: I think that la Ora needs improvements in QT4 version (window buttons [close, maximize, etc...] are deformed, and more integration of Mandriva Control Center on KDE4 (when I change the QT theme, the control center becames horrible).

    But in general, the best I think.

    I have been a long-time Linux user (since 1998), first using Conectiva, Red Hat, Debian, then Ubuntu. I finally have found a Linux distro that Just Works and keeps me happy, because it’s truly hassle free!

    Kudos, Mandriva!

  26. Desmond Armstrong says:

    After using RC2, which worked well for me I am now using 2009.0 PWP and am very pleased so far.
    It will be interesting to see how many updates are necessary during the next 2 months, as experience with previous releases has shown that several months of updates are required to make the system stable on the wide range of hardware.

    I’ve got some troubles with the Free Edition as well as with the latest Ubuntu, but
    Mandriva One 2009.1 is the best Linux system I ever installed. And I tried over
    80 systems the last 6 months. Really good. I do nearly everything with Mandriva,
    exept those things I need Vista. Easy to install, easy to use, stable and fast. Bonne
    chance little frenchie.

    Fazem 8 anos que uso Linux,começei com o Freedows Linux depois passei para Ubuntu,Debian,Slackware,Solaris,Mandrake,OpenSuse,Mandriva,Windows XP,Vista E até estou experimentando Windows 7.
    Mas meu ultimo Linux instalado definitivamente é Mandriva2009,porém foi atualizado automaticamente com minha permissão,sendo assim é de longe uma das melhores Distros que uso atualmente.
    Parabens a todos que ajudaram direta e indiretamente!

    Hello,

    After its release I downloaded Mandriva Free 2009.1 and to my surprise the distro
    had a lot of bugs. For that reason I installed the One Edition which worked really
    good. Yesterday I upgraded my Free 2009 Edition up to 2009.1. And this way it
    works, very good ad extremely fast. Don’t ask me why. I have no idea, but it works.

    Ciao.
