Okay, but, February 3, 2006
This review is from: Lacie 40GB P2 W Mandriva Linux USB2 5400RPM (Personal Computers)
This LaCie 40 gigabyte external hard drive plugs into any computer with a USB2 plug and comes with a Linux Mandriva desktop system installed. It's a nifty idea if you don't want to be bothered installing the program yourself. You can take the drive, plug it into any computer and have your Mandriva Linux desktop system with you, at home or away.
But in truth, you are better off buying a LaCie 40 GB external hard drive without Mandriva installed. The stand-alone drive is cheaper. You can then download the 2006 Mandriva program onto this drive for free, and have the same system, for less. I recommend the second method for all but the complete techno-idiot.
Mandriva is easy to install. After you select the language in which you want to run, the program pretty much installs itself.
