    New To Mandriva

    Hello everybody ok well i havent got a problem yet which is always good now my reason for posting im tried ubuntu seemed a little small (feature wise) although not a bad distro by the way im totally new to linux, im download suse 10.1 with no end of installation problems. So i saw a magazine today with mandriva 2007 and decided to give it a go. Good choice you think?
    And any ideas how i can improve my skills within linux using mandriva? got to say very nice installation so far seems very good advantages to a new user anyone??

    A good choice for you is whatever distribution works best for you. From what you're saying so far, it seems Mandriva is a very good choice for you. Congratulations.

    There's enough different Linux distributions out there that if you're just having a lot of trouble getting one to work, sometimes it's best to just drop it and try another.

    Hi - I've been using Mandriva for several years now. It's got a lot better, and it's great for new users. See you later matey.
