installer offers a modern look &

feel suitable for a modern system.

The default installation process

is mostly automated. The individ-

ual phases are highly intuitive,

and most hardware devices are

automatically recognized and config-

ured. Power users can still access any

advanced configuration options at any

point of the installation.

In addition to being able to resize

NTFS partitions, the installation provides

many unique features such as offering a

range of file systems (including journal-

ized file systems EXT3, ReiserFS, XFS,

and encrypted file systems), setting up

RAID disks, and resizing MS Windows

FAT32 partitions.

The upgrade mode has again been

improved to be more trouble-free.

tally revamped to add features and

provide improved functionality such as

the automatic detection and con-

figuration of new hardware devices.

Zeroconf is a new tool that allows two

computers running versions 10.0 or 9.x

to automatically configure their network

settings.

System maintenance

The set of URPMI tools (urpmi, urpme),

combined with the Software Manager

and the MandrakeUpdate utilities,

provide everything that you need to

install and uninstall additional software

packages.

provides many new great features.

Mandrakelinux 10.0 is based on

Linux kernel 2.6.3 and offers the most

advanced Linux features currently avail-

able in terms of technology, as well as

the most up-to-date software. New fea-

tures include improved performance and

scalability for servers, greater interoper-

ability with the MS Windows world, plus

numerous improvements & refinements

to the user interface.

Mandrakelinux 10.0 is optimized for

Pentium and higher processors, as well

as their compatibles, and therefore does

not run on earlier x86 CPUs.

Also on the DVD

The DVD from Linux Magazine includes

a host of new features and applications

that go to make Mandrakelinux 10.0 a

very special product. The applications

contain all you need from a Linux distri-

bution, whether you want to use it as

part of your office network, for Internet

access, or just to run it as a general

machine where you can relax and have

fun playing games.

The new features include Magicdev,

which can start the right application

whenever you insert a CD or DVD in a

drive. You can connect to your friends

and family with Instant Messengers

which are compatible with AOL, Yahoo

and Microsoft.

Five levels of security can be set up on

installation securing your machine.

Desktop

Mandrakelinux 10.0 offers a refined

desktop look & feel with the specially

written Mandrakegalaxy II theme. This

provides consistency between all your

applications in either the KDE or

GNOME desktop environment. Easy to

read anti-aliased fonts are now used in

most applications.

New users can configure their graphi-

cal desktop settings and email system

with the “Mandrakefirsttime” wizard .

The desktops have been made

dynamic so that the desktop shows the

correct icon as soon as new software or

hardware is added. This applies to

devices such as scanners

and WebCams.

Magicdev lets users

access removable media

instantaneously without

having to use the tradi-

tional “mount/umount”

commands.

The menus have also

been reorganized to pro-

vide consistency across

different desktops.

Installation

Mandrake’s installation process has long

been one of the most widely-respected

installers in the Linux field, yet it has

been made even simpler and more pow-

erful. It now offers great new features

such as the ability to resize NTFS hard

disk partitions, and automatic printer

detection and setup. The graphical
