The graphical boot up is a nice addition. It's really only eye candy, as it doesn't appear to offer any additional functionality, but it's nice nonetheles...
Many of the Mandrake specific configuration tools have been revamped in 7.2. DrakConfig, the front end to the individual configuration tools, has simply undergone cosmetic changes. On the other hand, Mandrake Update seems to have undergone a complete rewrite. The layout is different, and installing developmental updates from Mandrake's Cooker is no...
Mandrake's philosophy has always been to give the user a choice whenever possible. This has lead some people to label Mandrake as "bloatware". But with a 300MB minimum installation and the ability to easily configure the system to your liking, this label is hardly fair. This is a distribution that can tailor to the needs and expectations of a wide ...
This proves one thing: Mandrake 7.2 is as much as a. breath of fresh air for a Linux user as it is for a Windows. user.”. “…Mandrake 7.2 adds a whole load of new configuration options. for their already brilliant DrakX installer. Probably the most. notable update is the ability to choose between XFree86 3.3.6 or. 4.0.1.

A person may purchase this distribution from a local computer store, mail order house, download it from the MandrakeSoft ftp site (or mirror site), or copy it from a friend.
