ianw1974 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I would recommend using the latest version - 2007. But apply all updates after installing it. And don't forget to add new repositories for lots of packages, using the easyurpmi link at the top of this page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinynorman Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Welcome to the board, oscaroso. Please don't type in all capitals - it looks like you're SHOUTING at us... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_APIIT Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Mandriva Linux 2007 Powerpack is the latest version. Moreover, it also comes with many development and server such as postgresql server and mysql. Besides that, it also comes with many multimedia library and tools. Therefore, you can rip you music and rock it until you get high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 But why suggest powerpack when you can do all that with the free version? Just get 2007, and come back with any other questions. About the disk space required, it depends what you want to do with it - 40 GB is waaaay more than enough, you can get by on much less than that if you need to. Have a read of our wiki about dual-booting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
