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 that demanded strong technical knowledge and extensive use of the "commandline" MandrakeSoft saw this as an opportunity to integrate the best graphical desktop environments and contribute its own graphical configuration utilities and quickly became famous for setting the standard in ease-of-use and functionality. ABOUT MANDRAKE LINUX Mandrake Linux was created in 1998 with the goal of making Linux easier to use for everyone. Mandriva Linux, formerly known as Mandrakelinux, is a friendly Linux Operating System which specializes in ease-of-use for both servers and the home/office. MandrakeSoft integrated the best graphical desktop environments and contribute its own graphical configuration utilities and quickly became famous for setting the standard in ease- of-use and functionality. It is freely available in many languages throughout the world. FEATURES Installation, control and administration- Mandriva Linux contained the Mandriva Control Center, which eases configuration of settings Mandriva Linux used a package manager called urpmi which allows seamless installation of a given software package by automatically installing the other packages needed. Starting with Mandriva 2011, the new installer lets you install the free operating system on your computer directly from live mode. The installation process has also been completely revised and simplified while still being able to accommodate different variants and system configurations. The project had decided to focus fully on the KDE Plasma Desktop as its sole officially supported desktop environment. This concentration of our efforts allowed us to make Mandriva Desktop the best KDE-based distro in the free software industry, the software's developers explain. Its flexibility can be seen when Mandriva 2011's new Simple Welcome kickoff screen is designed to be simpler and more welcoming for newcomers to the software while its TimeFrame utility lets you find files by date, without having to remember where you saved them. . Besides the KDE display manager, KDM, there's the Dolphin file manager, the business-ready LibreOffice 3.4.2 productivity suite, the Choqok micro blogging client, and Mozilla's Firefox 5.0.1 browser and Thunderbird 5.0 email software. COMPARISON LINUX UNIX COST Linux can be freely Different flavors of Unix distributed through have different cost magazines and books , structures according to downloaded etc. cheaper vendors. than windows DEVELOPMENT AND Developed via Open Mostly develop by AT&T DISTRIBUTION source development as well as various And distributed by commercial vendors and various vendors NPO. FILE SYSTEM SUPPORT Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, Jfs , Jfs, gpfs, hfs, hfs+, ReiserFS , Xfs , Btrfs , FAT ufs,xfs,zfs format , FAT32, NTFS LINUX UNIX PRICE Free but support is Some free for available for a price. development use( Solaris) but support is available for a price. USER Everyone i.e Home users Mainly for mainframe to developers ,servers, and workstations.
USAGE Can be installed in a wide Unix is used in internet
variety of computer servers, workstations and hardware i.e computers PCs mobile phones , tablets etc. LINUX UNIX SECURITY 60-100 listed viruses till 85-120 unix viruses are date, none of them reported till date. actively spreading nowadays. THREAT DETECTION Fast detection and Users have to wait for a AND SOLUTION solution, several while to get the proper developers bug fixing but these are simultaneously work to not as common. solve the virus if reported. EXAMPLES Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat, OS X, Solaris, All Linux Debian, Archlinux, Android etc. Advantages Disadvantages The default graphical theme in Security updates are bit later than other mandriva looks much better than distributions and for some packages Ubuntus theme. even completely missing.
Graphical configuration tools are Not on par with the upstream KDE and centralized in mandriva control center. GTK+ themes like in Ubuntu.
Offers configuration tools to change Configuration tools gave annoying bugs
advanced security settings from the or do not have the best look possible. GUI e.g msec.
Gives option of using 32 bits package As 32 bit stuff can be installed on
even for x86_64 bit. x86_64 easily the users contribution to the improvement of Mandriva is more direct. CONCLUSION Mandriva or Mandrake was the best possible operating system available during its launch. It was most efficient and was easy to use. Though Its use is reduced than before but now its distributions of Ubuntu are finding its way back in user PC as need for simple and easy to use operating system needs are increasing. THANK YOU
