Mandriva Linux (formerly Mandrakelinux or Mandrake Linux, and an acquisition of Conectiva and Lycoris) is a Linux distribution created by Mandriva (formerly Mandrakesoft). The first release was based on Red Hat Linux (version 5.1) and KDE (version 1.0) in July 1998. It has since diverged from Red Hat and has included a number of original tools mostly to ease system configuration. Mandriva Linux (at those times named Mandrake Linux) was originated by Gaël Duval, who was also a co-founder of Mandrakesoft.

Beberapa Versi Mandrake

Mandriva One

Mandriva One [1] is a LiveCD based on Mandriva Linux 2006 and uses KDE 3.4. It may be used to install Mandriva Linux 2006 on a hard drive with a wizard.


GlobeTrotter

GlobeTrotter is a LaCie mobile USB drive loaded with a specific version of Mandrakelinux. Like Move, it can boot most PCs into Linux without installing first. The 40 GB hard drive makes it a convenient way to carry a Linux workstation around. GlobeTrotter was launched in August 2003 and can be ordered through Mandrakesoft's online store.

Mandriva Linux Clustering

Based on the CLIC project, this distribution allows to set up a cluster. This product includes Drakcluster (GUI) for a better ease-of-use.

This product is dedicated to the HPC market but it could be used also (with some modifications) to all kind of clusters (High Availability, applicative, grid, ...). It features parallel commands (bash, copying tools), deployment (disks), software upgrade/downgrade (urpmi parallel), monitoring (ganglia), etc.

Firewall

Linux Mandrake 7.2 had a version tailored specifically for use as a firewall, known as Single Network Firewall (SNF). Its successor, based on Mandrake 8.2, was titled Multi Network Firewall (MNF). The third iteration will be based upon Mandrakelinux 10.0.

These firewall distributions are designed to provide security for computer networks, and can be administered remotely via a Web browser based interface or ssh. There are two versions. The Download Edition contains only free software and is freely downloadable via the Internet. The corporate version has added functionality and comes with support from MandrakeSoft.

Gaming edition

Mandrake Linux 8.1 had a Gaming Edition, which was a game oriented Linux distribution. It had a port of The Sims and used the Transgaming WineX technology to support some games produced for Windows.

CLIC

CLIC (aka Cluster LInux pour le Calcul) is a dedicated version of Mandrakelinux created by MandrakeSoft specifically for clustering environments. It was sponsorised by the RNTL, others partners are ID-IMAG, Bull and Mandrakesoft. This project's aim was to produce a HPC Linux Distribution for 32 & 64 bits processors.

The objective of project CLIC is to allow the realization of large scientific computers while being based on software known as "free" (i.e. under licence GPL or comparable). The objective consists of the realization a Linux distribution for clusters of machines, meeting the needs for deployment, administration and programming of clusters within the framework of exploitation for intensive calculation.

It features an automated installation of a full cluster using the Ka tools, urpmi and the clusterscripts.

This project was finished on 1 December 2003 and Mandrakesoft decided to continue that project with a product called Mandrakeclustering.

Mandriva Move

A LiveMove is the set formed by a LiveCD and a bootfloppy or USB key.

Mandriva Move is a Mandriva product that benefits from a Mandriva Linux LiveCD which doesn't need to be installed to run on a computer, and a USB key that automatically records bootloader, hardware configuration and personal data.

The first version of Mandriva Move was released in December 2003 (but only distributed to customers in January 2004, due to production delays - a problem very common to Mandrakelinux releases, unfortunately). It brought two main innovations compared to competitors:
ability to eject the cdrom if the machine has 256 MB of RAM or more (Knoppix also can, but needs to copy the whole cdrom into RAM, therefore needs a machine with 1 GB of RAM or more), and continue to operate in a "downgraded" mode allowing only to play multimedia files
transparent save of any user modification of his/her own files and system configuration files, if operated with a USB key

The new version of Mandriva Move, now simply called Move was released in October 2004. Hardware support and stability have seen much improvement.
