Problem with Mandrake 8.1

LuisLewis

Hello,

I am new to Mandrake og I have installed it on my HP Pavillion laptop but I can not se anything after I choose Linus in the start screen.

Could it be the Laptops screen resolution or something else.

I hope that some one can help me.

Best Regards

Luis Lewis

Mandrake 8.1 came out in 2001 --- 15 years ago.

You need a more recent distro.

What can I get and how?

Mandrake went bust in 2010. It was followed by Mandriva which went bust in 2015.

If you want to follow that lead you have Mageia, possibly PCLinux OS and OpenMandrivs.

Thanks, What would you recommend if I want to develop and install a Linux Platform? Thanks for your help. :-)

I have no experience of these distros, but possibly PCLinuxOS.
