Hi there,

I’m a linux newbie and this was probably my third or fourth attempt at an intall. I have an HP Compaq nx6110 laptop. I downloaded a Live Cd of Mandriva Spring 2007 Discovery. When I popped in the live CD, initial attempts to “fool around” showed great promise even the wireless card (Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG)was working albeit with Win XP SP2 underneath.

Afterwards I decided to do a dual boot experiment, (so I backed up all my data first) and formatted the HDD then installed Linux this time from a DVD of the POWERPACK version.Only problem is that the wireless card isn’t working even now that everything has been updated from the official sites, anyone have any advise for me as I would really like to be “A FULL CONVERT” as everything else seems to be far better than WINDOWS

Good to see a good review on Mandriva 2007.1 I have read alot of bad reviews I dont know why i have had no problems with it I am running an IBM Thinkpad T22 and evrything was detected and setup very fast I use beryl and thats works great too at 24bit color depth, They only minor issue I had was playing DVD’s but I hae fixed that issue, I have tried Suse 10.2 and the new ubuntu and must say I found Mandriva the best for me everything simple and easy to setup and run

I installed Mandriva One Spring 2007 on my HP DV6000 and everything worked right out of the box – including suspend to ram, webcam and cardreader – only hardware nout found was the digital TV card, but no linux driver exist for that so far. Have also PClinux 2007 on same machine, fine distro also, but did not install the hardware mentioned.
Only problem so far (install yesterday) is, that I so far cannot find my windows partitions on the machine -

I’ve been using Mandriva 2007 Spring on two laptops (an Acer Aspire 3100 and an HP nx6125) since it came out. The HP has a well-documented problem with the fan control under Linux, which can possibly be fixed if you have the time, but the Acer runs perfectly, even with the free ATI driver. Only the built-in card reader doesn’t work at all. It looks brilliant with my GNOME desktop, and naturally it never crashes. Both laptops are 64-bit, but there are no problems with drivers. Give it a try!
