Announcing Mandriva One, a combined live and install CD based on Mandriva Linux 2006

#includeResource("Skel.ArticleHeader") An operating system is generally available as a live CD or a set of installation CDs, but not both on the same disc. Mandriva One differs in offering an all-in-one CD based on Mandriva Linux 2006. It's a great way for all users to save space and time. This high quality Linux distribution not only includes live and install functionality but also a selection of the best free software available - and selected non-free applications and drivers are available on a special edition for Mandriva Club members.

Perfect for Linux beginners

In order to help people to discover Linux, Mandriva One is designed to be very easy to use. The installation wizard and the dual-boot setup wizard help the user to install Linux if he decides to migrate – a simple icon on the desktop allows you to install the system with a few clicks. What's more, files created in live mode are included if you install the running system to the hard disk.

Available in many languages, in detail: http://wwwnew.mandriva.com/en/community/mandrivaone

Mandriva One Central Europe

Mandriva One Club Edition = Mandriva One Americas Western Europe + proprietary drivers and firmware (including ATI & Nvidia drivers) and proprietary software (including Flash Player and RealPlayer, but not Acrobat due to lack of space).

Following the tradition of localization of Mandriva Linux, Mandriva One is available in dozens of languages. Four CDs are available, offering a specific choice of languages for the various regions of the globe (America and Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe and Africa / Asia), totalling more than 70 languages.
