You may have Mandriva 2006, or even an earlier version. You can either use that or download and use the Mandriva One CD. It is a Live CD that you can also install easily with. It is the latest consumer version.

i do have mandriva 2006 so i can just down load the live cd and see if everything will work on my new laptop when it gets here?

ok i got my new laptop around 4:30 5:00 my time yesterday, but i was at dinner for my birthday, so i didnt have much time to play with it, i got home around 6:10 just enough time to get it out of the box and put it in the carrying case i buy with it and go to class. when i got home from work and hooked it up to the internet i guess the wildtanget was wanting for me cuase i got infected with 12 entys of that. spybot found them after i downloaded spybot aadware ewido windows defender and i have pc-cilin. i just got done doing an ad-aware scan and it found an possible browser hijack. so that just goes to show how fast infections can get into ur computer without any protection. i was just downloading the protection i didnt go to my mail or myspace anything. tonight im going to try and put linux and ever quest 2 on my laptop. sorry for the long post about nothing, im just happy cuz i got my new laptop.

we dont have desks we have tables but we can sit anywhere we want so i can sit by an outlet if i need to.

Yes Windows machines can get infected al,ost instantaneously on the net with no protection.

Always a good idea to have all of your protection loaded from CD's BEFORE even attempting a connection.
