Welcome to the Mandriva Community

Mandriva users from all over the world gather into community spaces to share their interest in new Linux technologies. They help new users get comfortable with Linux basics, providing hints and tips, or telling the tales of ancient Unix commands. This gathering of various different people in a community of passion is what makes Linux and the Mandriva community so unique since the inception of our distribution in 1998.
