Mandriva Linux

Common card · No. 327811

Mandriva Linux is a discontinued Linux distribution developed by Mandriva S.A. as a fusion of the French distribution Mandrake Linux and the Brazilian distribution Conectiva Linux. Each release's lifetime was 18 months for base updates (Linux, system software, etc.) and 12 months for desktop updates (window managers, desktop environments, web browsers, etc.). Server products received full updates for at least five years after their release. The last release of Mandriva Linux was in August 2011. Most developers who were laid off went on to work on Mageia, while the remaining developers teamed up with community members and formed OpenMandriva, both forks of the Mandriva Linux codebase.
