The Openmandriva Lx 2013 has been released last week. Personally i found it is very beautiful and make me thinking of the old days of Mandriva (old Mandrake).
OpenMandriva Lx is an excellent free Desktop Operating System that aims to cater to and interest first time and advanced users alike. It has the breadth and depth of an advanced system but is designed to be simple and straightforward in use.
This release, OpenMandriva Lx 2013.0 is dedicated to the memory of Ron (Ronald van Pomeren), aka Arvi Pingus. Ron was one of the first contributors to OpenMandriva, dedicated, professional – and just a very good person and friend to many of us. We miss him.
