Mandriva-user Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 How power full is Mandriva is more powerful any OS? B) [moved from Talk-Talk by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeDubb Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 That's an almost impossible question to answer. There are so many interpretations of that question, that I wouldn't no where to begin. If you simply mean in terms of raw speed, no, it is most deffinatly not the most powerful OS out there. It is reasonably stable, reasonably fast, and in my opinion, is a wonderful compromise betweent he two. There's a lot of easy to install software using the built in package manager, good config tools for those not expertly skilled with linux, and a friendly feal, without being overly friendly, like lycoris or Linspire. Why don't you ask about the specific terms of power you are concerned with, then I can answer you directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Mandriva is a linux dist and we all know linux can do infinite loops in three seconds flat so Mandriva is obviously incredibly fast ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Oh, we're powerful. Very powerful. We know where your children play, and it'd be a shame if a fire were to ruin these nice curtains of yours... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foot Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I'd say Mandriva is quite powerful, whilst most other distros are somewhat powerful. Windows, of course, is slightly powerful and Macs are a bit powerful. I think that clears it up. Mandriva may know where your children play, but it segfaults when trying to work out what you did last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRTee Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 foot - I really liked that first reply of yours, very direct and to the point. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I used mandrake from 8.0 on. When the game City of Heroes came out a year ago, I switched back to windows to be able to play with my friends (winex ran it horribly when it first came out). Mandriva 2005 let me come back to linux. I cannot say how impressed I have been with this latest release. It is incredibly powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramfree17 Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 not all-powerful, just enough to equal the energy radiated by the sound of one hand clapping in the middle of the forest where a tree has fallen. ciao! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 An aside. Hello adamw. Where have you been ??? I've been missing your highly informative posts. I'm delighted to see you posting again. Mandriva is powerful. How powerful ? So powerful that it stripped all the hair from my head as it hit the sonic boom. Thats my story and I am sticking to it. :D :D :D Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
