who are “on the move” and who require a light and full-featured

of lugging around laptop. Just insert MandrakeMove into a CD-ROM drive,

doesn’t require installation and may be used without advanced knowledge
of computing.
“MandrakeMove is an impressive new product that marks an important step
in the way computers are used. This is truly a “non-geek” product that
will people experience Linux for the first time, although I’m certain
computer enthusiasts will love it as well! MandrakeMove fits perfectly
within our approach of bringing Linux technology to the largest number
of people”, said François Bancilhon, CEO of MandrakeSoft.
MandrakeMove is sure to become one of this season’s “hot techno-gift”
with prices
starting at $19.90.
