Subject: Announce : `Linux-Mandrake'' 5.1 (Venice) : new linux-distribution.
L I N U X - M A N D R A K E
5.1 (Venice) RELEASE
July, 23 1998
http://www.linux-center.org/mandrake/
``A ready-to-work and easy-to-use Linux-Distribution''
Base : Linux RH 5.1 GPL and KDE 1.0
I am very happy to announce that ``Linux-Mandrake'', version 5.1
(Venice) is now out and downloadable for free. Please have a look
at the official web-site on :
http://www.linux-center.org/mandrake/
for download instructions.
o What is Linux-Mandrake exactly ?
------------------------------
Linux-Mandrake is an updated Linux-RH 5.1 GPL, with KDE 1.0 fully
integrated and preconfigured in it. Those two parts have been
(not so much) modified and improved to work properly together.
o The main goals of this new distribution are:
-------------------------------------------
- to provide a working and easy-to-install linux-distribution to
people who don't want to spend too much time in installing and
configuring their Linux system : just install it and USE IT.
- to provide a very attractive, easy-to-use, Linux System for
newbies coming from the very common OS that you know ;-)
- providing a new distribution in a well-known linux environment
(RH 5.1)
For example, after having your new Linux-Mandrake installed, just
type `startx' and your beautiful KDE window-manager comes without
crying :-) Now, just click on the cd-rom icon (on your desktop)
to mount and use it (it's the same for floppy disks). This is
very simple and you do not need to be a privileged user for that !
o Contents:
--------
In Linux-Mandrake, you'll find all the RH 5.1 good softs provided
with the RH 5.1 : Emacs 20.2 the famous text editor, Apache 1.2.6
the famous web-server, Netscape 4.05 the famous web browser etc.
We also have been kind enough to put _Gimp 1.0_, the Photoshop-
clone in Linux-Mandrake 5.1 :-)
I sincerely believe that Linux-Mandrake is one of the most
powerful Linux-distribution, and certainly the easyest to use.
o Last things:
-----------
This is a first version for TESTS, although I *really* think
it's at least as usable as a common linux-distribution :-)
I'm still looking for FTP mirrors !!! Please contact me.
More informations on http://www.linux-center.org/mandrake/
A lot of feedback about Linux-Mandrake will be *very*
appreciated :-)

Stefane Fermigier (linux-center), Nat Makarevitch (linux-france),
Arnaud Crespin, Philippe Blanfuney (NOL), Sebastien Blondeel,
and my little brother Antoine, for helping me and believing in
the project.
The erm6.u-strabg.fr, ftp.sunet.se and ftp.asci.fr people for
hosting this new linux distribution with enthusiasm (I'm looking
for other ftp sites !)
RedHat Software for their nice distributions.
KDE developpers for their great work.
My 6x86 overclocked CPU for having been kind enough not to burn
