Caixa Magica is a Linux distribution based on Mandriva Linux, designed for i586 and x86_64 processors. It is developed in Portugal and is suited for desktop and server use.
I recently tried the latest release of Caixa Magica Linux, a robust Portuguese distribution that caters to i586 and x86_64 processors. What caught my eye is that it's now based on Mandriva Linux, ditching their previous platform based on SUSE Linux.
As a user who requires a versatile OS to perform various tasks, I was pleased to see that the Caixa Magica 12 is designed for both desktops and servers. By offering an easy-to-use desktop environment with KDE or GNOME, along with custom configuration utilities, I found it particularly accessible.
The intuitive installation program with an option to resize NTFS partitions streamlined the setup process for me. Additionally, the convenient software installation and updates via apt-get (for RPM) and Synaptic provided a seamless experience.
The improved hardware detection and support impressed me, as did the complete desktop environment in the Portuguese language that's rather unique to this distribution. All in all, I found Caixa Magica 12 to be a solid choice for those in need of a user-friendly, flexible OS for both personal and professional use.
