NOTE

As my hosting at addyour.net was down too often, I am switching to paid hosting. However I was not able to restore my Drupal site, so I will have to rebuild the site. In order to make sure that the content is available in the mean time, I have created a static copy which you are looking at now. This means that these pages will not give you any dynamic behaviour such as adding comments etc. I will try to get everything functional again as soon as possible (but as I don't have much time to work on this,...).

Mandriva Linux 2007 ONE for home users Intro & table of contents

Submitted by wim on Thu, 2006-11-09 22:37.

Article introduction

This article is a follow up on my earlier article on Mandriva Linux 2006 for home users. Basically it contains the same information but updated to Mandriva Linux 2007 ONE. It contains as well some polishment to my english writing thanks to John Barron (http://www.europa.demon.co.uk/). John gave me input on my English writing on the earlier article, which I did not have the time to include but which I included in this version.

The information in this article reflects my own experience, or even just my personal opinion, and your mileage may vary. During the writing I have tried to verify as much of possible the correctness of my statements, but as anyone I am prone to error, so if you would encounter mistakes, please let me know via my website: coulier.org.

For the moment no other formats are available yet, but it is the purpose that this will be added within a matter of weeks. It is possible that a print version will become available via http://www.lulu.com/. If that would interest you, please check back in a couple of weeks, I will update this page when there is something of interest on that matter.
