Mandrakesoft Ireland has launched Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official, a full-featured Linux operating system that includes a suite of desktop and server applications.

Official is built on the Linux kernel 2.6, and offers a choice of user-friendly interfaces through KDE 3.2, Gnome 2.4 and Mandrakegalaxy II. There is also support for the standard data transfer connections on the PC including Serial ATA, USB 2 and FireWire. Mandrakesoft Ireland also offers Discovery 10 — a more basic flavour of Linux. Discovery is designed to give Windows users their first taste of the alternative operating system.

Discovery features KDE 3.2 as its graphical desktop environment and includes a hand-picked assortment of applications for office, Internet and multimedia activities, including the Real Player
media application, the Kontact personal information manager and the OpenOffice 1.1 productivity suite.

The Discovery pack includes two CDs with over 1200 applications included and a Mandrakemove 9.2 Live CD designed to allow users to demonstrate the operating system to others. In a special offer from Mandrakesoft Ireland, users who purchase the Discovery pack for a fee of €44.90, get one free month’s Standard Level Mandrakeclub
membership and one month’s free membership to Mandrakeonline Personal Solutions club.
