Mandriva Linux 2006 review

This review is subtitled “the Desktop Linux Showcase” which hints that it’s not going to be a regular review about Mandriva Linux 2006 – I will certainly mention the strong and weak points about Mandriva Linux 2006, and report how things work in everyday use. But on top of that, I have decided to add some (well, a lot) more information; first, you will find an article within this review, about the background of the software repositories and software installation on Linux (please use that permanent link to the inline article). This will be illustrated and explained with Mandriva Linux specific tools, but most of the information is valid for all major Linux distributions.
