Mandriva 2008 PP + Compiz Fusion

[trasmethrash]

may i have mandriva 2008 or 2009 with actual aplications or KDE 4.2 or later?

[PowerFusionX]

Ubuntu won't work with the adapter in my laptop! :C

[blink1420]

whats that one where you see all the windows seperate? is it a part of madriva or is it part of CCSM?

[betterthenyou23]

which is better ubuntu or mandriva?

[jeyml]

Mandriva it's the best operating sistem ever created,i mean you can have anything you want,XP games(counter,wow,etc),program­s(yahoomess,etc)see movies and it's much more stable and the animations and effects are far more cool than windows:D.MANDRIVA RULLLEEEZZZ

[darksaga80]

Some of the features are very similar to the new Mac interface which is setup like the itunes interface.

I still prefer my Linux Mandriva system over a Mac any day.

I think Mac and Windows are still too bloated without a lot of the control Linux gives you.

[ghitaciprian]

i see that some programs aren't compatible with MAndriva Linux (i am new on Linux) / how can i delete folders ? & hou can i copy a folder from a partition intoo another ?

[xrockislife3016x]

i love mandriva

[razor191919]

Boring ._.

[zinduar]

one word: PERFECT

[EdwinGramba]

Yes its all good but i jus went back to XP, i had many problems with mandiva 2008, as it is great soft and easy to install but i miss so much biger choice of software and most importantly i was hoping that at least basics of mandriva will be very stable but it was crashing and stalling and slow for no reason. shame though. Good luck to it in the next few years!

[TheJerico246]

how do you do that at 1:03

[IIJiGGyII]

try using win+tab, but u can always change it

[TheJerico246]

you kknow how to change from kde to gnome?

[IIJiGGyII]

reinstall your system :)

[TheJerico246]

then what i don't see the option anywhere

[EvZXCoRe]

install gnome metapackage from the package manager adn it should apprear in the options at your login window like log logout and check the tabs you can install gnome xfce e17 kde4 all at once and run each by chooseing it from the login window

[0cton]

u just install kde over gnome

and later remove gnome if u dont like it

at login u can choose witch session you want to have

you can even try xcfe or whatever lol

its freedom

mandriva is not the best the best linux is the best that fits for you and the best for power users is suse watch this video runing mac os x 10.5.1 leopard on vmware workstation /watch?v=whlXU-TFOHw

[Shagadin]

Great video! And Mandriva rocks! In my case it detected audio and nvidia gpu automatically and it was the only distro that achieved that. Sooooooooooo much faster than windows.

[orcmisha]

you know what owns this? Xp and Vista , your a fool if you only look to the GUI , and dont see the tomuch bugs of Mandriva , also Suse pwns this , its so much safer , better, quicker , and more for home usage , or companies , or whatever ^^

[nicolcheung95521]

Chhansenx, you're totally wrong

OpenSUSE the BEST BEST and BEST

Ubuntu-okay, but surely not at the top rate

Mandriva, that fuc*in OS

It shouldn't be a OS

Yep, there's one OS that have the same ASSHOLE Quality

It's name: MICROSOFT the FUCKING BITCH Version:95

[mundujr]

mandriva the BEST... it rules! and to think that microsoft wanted to copy this on windows vista! as ifff... 4EVER LINUX

[Chhansenx]

I think that opensuse and mandriva are about the same, though ubuntu is rated the highest.

Mrvn1977--Mandriva Rules!!!

Also: did you use the Mandriva repos to install compiz and the cube reflection plugin? Are there any other kewl plugins you installed?

[paschatloupe]

the vid is beautiful, thx !

My friend will install me this OS next saturday !

I'm so sick of windows...

Do you know any soft to make some DVD authoring ?

PCL

[enotes9]

k9copy shrinks.. for authoring, there's a slew of options. i have so many, i have trouble choosing ;)

[hindersh]

how do you get the cube to look that nice like at 2:04?

[mrvn1977]

If you mean the reflection beneath the cube, well that's a plug-in I installed called "Cube-reflection" it lets you customize every aspect of the reflection.

[khlymore]

you think mandriva is better than OPEN SUSE 10.3 X64 i dont think so i mean for power users of course i like alot sabayon for newbies because it comes with everything built in drivers and you can used them from the cd is a live cd and also you can use the eyecandy without any installation so for the people that is crazy about taking a first look on linux this is the best way

[huxes17]

this is mandriva 2008 power pack right? so it already comes whit all the drivers for the computer?? or u have to install the drivers? cuz i have mandriva 2008 in my notebook but is not the power pack and i can't run the camara and the sound doesn't works :(

[mrvn1977]

Yep, it is PP, I installed it on my Thinkpad T60 and everything worked out of the box, but I guess the fact that your components work or not relies on branding, I think IBM machines are used a lot on the Mandriva development and that might be why my install was smooth.

[mouimen]

can i gt a driver for nvidia 8800 if i install mandriva?

[enotes9]

just search for nvidia in control panel for software and you will id the right one for your card.. it's as easy as one two three. thanks for the vid

[wiiboy1234]

ya, it should be in the Reposistories, and installed by def

[scazzone]

Among the best videos showing compiz effects.

[mrvn1977]

Thanks :) !

[googleybear25]

does Mandriva 2008 all ready come w/ compiz fusion, or do i have to download it separately? How much memory does Mandriva 2008 suck up?? This is such an amazing OS compared to my shity ass windows vista. ohh, are you also able to run Microsoft office on Mandriva as well??

[mrvn1977]

Yep,

Mandriva 2008 does come with Compiz Fusion it's there out of the box. You'll need minimum 512 MB of Ram if you have more it will fly, also need at least a 128MB graphics card. MS office is not available for any linux distribution but this OS comes with Open Office, which does everything MS does and you can even open MS Office files with the suite.

[enotes9]

;) openoffice can also convert to pdf and any other system protocol like for the mac.. and the pdf ability (like all things linux) is totally open source and free of charge (unless you are a corporation or something)
