Mandriva Linux Discovery 2007 Spring

Paris, April 26th 2007 - Mandriva Linux Discovery 2007 Spring is the
distribution designed for beginners. Everything in it is conceived to
make Linux simple: easy and quick installation, auto-configuration and
extended compatibility. Let's see how Mandriva Linux Discovery can fit
your needs.

Mandriva Linux Discovery is a Live DVD: first, you can try Mandriva
Linux without installing it on your hard drive. Then, once you love
it, a simple icon on the desktop allows you to install the system with
a few clicks - thanks to a smooth setup wizard - without even
rebooting to run the installer! It has never been easier to discover
Linux.

Choose your 3D desktop: Metisse, Compiz or Beryl. Mandriva Linux 2007
Spring is the must-have distribution for cutting-edge graphical
technologies. Want to impress your friends with Linux? Make your
choice and discover how to switch from one desktop to another, rotate
the 3D cube - with Compiz and Beryl - copy-paste with Metisse and much
more!

Mandriva Linux Discovery provides users with all they need for office
work, Internet and multimedia tasks. Here is a look at some major
features:

OpenOffice.org is the famous open source office suite. It can read and
write most of the file formats - including Microsoft Office formats -
and covers pretty much everything you need: word processor (Writer),
spreadsheets (Calc), presentations (Impress), database management
(Base), equation editor (Math) and a vector graphic program
(Draw). OpenOffice will soon become your best friend for office work.
