The Mandriva Linux 2009.0 release is available today. If one has not tried Mandriva Linux lately then now would be a good time. In this author’s opinion Mandriva’s distribution of Linux is at least as good as, if not better than, any other desktop Linux distribution.
The torrent files have been up on Mandriva’s torrent site for a few hours now. If one prefers direct FTP or HTTP downloads, rather than assisting on a distributed network with torrents, then go to Download the latest Mandriva Linux release and choose a country from the drop down list to find a mirror. Be aware that only torrents will be available for a while. So, one will have to wait for the direct download ISO files to be available.
Edit Fri Oct 10 13:52:24 UTC 2008: The drop down list at “Download the latest Mandriva Linux release” now has some mirror sites with direct download access to the ISO files.
One should get an install of Mandriva’s Linux distribution, take it for a test drive, kick the tires. If one needs assistance with installation or on where to find things in Mandriva’s Linux distribution the #mandriva channel on the IRC network irc://chat.freenode.net is a good place to start. Or go to the Mandriva Community page and join the forums there.
