Introducing Mandriva Flash 2010

Filed in archive OS on November 28, 2009

Mandriva has launched Mandriva Flash 2010, which allows a user to boot Mandriva Linux from an 8 GB USB drive. The drive, which leaves 6 GB free for store of documents, is available now for $59.90.

"Think of Mandriva Flash 2010 as your personal and private 3D mobile desktop, which empowers you to perform your daily computer tasks from anywhere," writes Softpedia's Marius Nestor. "It offers a fully secure and protected environment that allows anyone to store their personal data on the same device. No software will be installed on the PC, because everything works off the USB flash drive."

"What is new about the flash drive is the 'Mandriva Smart Desktop' which Mandrive says offers better access to data files by indexing photos, documents, emails and videos whilst safeguarding personal data," writes The Inquirer's Ed Berridge.
