At that time, Linux was already reputed as a stable and powerful operating system. Mandriva's groundbreaking approach aimed to provide the same power and stability of Linux to both home users and professionals in a cordial and easy-to-use environment. Thousands of Linux users are transitioning from their previous operating system to Linux, finding it to be a complete replacement that fulfills their computing needs, whether in a server or workstation.
Mandriva Linux adheres to the Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) licensing model that governs its development and redistribution. This licensing model grants everyone the right to inspect, copy, distribute, modify, and enhance the system, as long as the results of these modifications are shared with the community. This open development model allows Mandriva Linux to aggregate the best ideas from developers and users worldwide to deliver a rich variety of techniques and solutions to its users.
