Mandriva's Awards
Awards for our Distribution
The Mandriva Linux distribution has quickly become accepted by a huge community of users worldwide -- and this just happens to be the best award we could ever wish for.
Mandriva began its life when the first Mandriva Linux distribution was released in 1999. We further refined it and released it as Mandriva Linux 6.0. It was during this same time that we decided to attend the '99 Linux Expo at San Jose, California. At the Expo, Linux-Mandriva received LinuxWorld Editor Awards for " Product of the Year" and best "Distribution/Server". The distribution was also selected as finalist for best "Distribution/Client" -- and this was just the beginning of our new company!

Mandriva Linux 8.0 was awarded CNET's Editor's Choice in June 2001. As Stated by CNET, "An Editors' Choice award signifies a product that is the best of breed in its category, the standard by which all other similar products will be judged. It's not enough, however, that a product just be better than the competition. An Editors' Choice product must also change the competitive landscape of its market."This award is a wonderful recognition of Mandriva's innovative user friendly approach. |

" Mandriva Linux 10.0 Official Edition PowerPack+ is the only distribution we have tested that properly detected a variety of both nVidia and ATI video cards that required their respective proprietary drivers. Mandrivalinux is also the distribution we found offered the best selection of kernels for particular needs, the best coverage of post-installation configuration tools for hardware and software and the convenient inclusion of a graphically administered server installation CD set, in addition to the DVD-ROM desktop edition." |
