MandrakeSoft heeft versie 6.1 van hun Linux Mandrake distribute gereleased. Dit schijnt één van de meest gebruiksvriendelijke Linux distro's te zijn, dus wellicht interessant om eens te proberen:
We are very pleased to announce the new version of the Linux distribution that won the "Product of the year" award at LinuxWorld Expo'99. Linux-Mandrake 6.1 (Helios), the first Linux distribution to include the new XFree 3.3.5 and KDE1.1.2, is available. This is the latest release of our user-friendly and flexible desktop Linux-based operating system. It is currently available for download via FTP, in both traditional and iso-image formats.
