MandrakeSoft has created MandrakeMove -- a new product based on Mandrake Linux 
9.2 that provides a complete personal desktop operating system on a bootable 
CD. Personal data and configuration settings may be stored on a dedicated USB Key.

MandrakeMove lets you bring your Mandrake Linux system wherever you go, all on 
a single disc, so that you can connect to the Internet, create & edit Office 
documents, listen to music, watch movies, and just about anything you can 
imagine from wherever you happen to be!

With MandrakeMove, there's no need to install a Linux system to have a 
full-featured desktop: just place MandrakeMove live CD into a CD-ROM drive, 
boot from the disc, then watch an entire Mandrake system run "on the fly" from 
the CD-ROM. As a unique added feature, the MandrakeMove CD-ROM may be ejected 
to access content from another CD.

Additionally, MandrakeMove provides the ability to store configuration files 
and personal data on a USB key; this data can be encrypted for the highest 
level of security and privacy!

MandrakeMove features an impressive selection of first-class applications. In 
addition to multimedia and graphics software, MandrakeMove also includes a 
complete office suite for creating, editing and sharing Microsoft® Office 
compatible files (xls, doc, ppt). You'll enjoy hours of fun with highly 
addictive games (such as the famous 'Frozen Bubble'), 3D programs, educational 
applications for children, and much more.

MandrakeMove currently supports five languages: English, French, German, 
Italian, and Spanish.
