Mandriva Linux以MandrakeLinux的名稱創(chuàng)建于1998年，其宗旨是讓Linux對(duì)每一個(gè)人都更易于使用。當(dāng)時(shí)，Linux作為操作系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)以其強(qiáng)大和穩(wěn)定而著稱，但它要求人們有很強(qiáng)的專業(yè)知識(shí)，并涉及大量的命令行操作；MandrakeSoft認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)將***的圖形桌面環(huán)境及其自己的圖形界面配置工具集成到Linux中的機(jī)會(huì)，并且很快就因其樹立了Linux的易用性標(biāo)準(zhǔn)而著稱。在2005年二月，MandrakeSoft與巴西的Conectiva合并為Mandriva S.A.，總部設(shè)在法國(guó)巴黎。該公司的旗艦產(chǎn)品MandrivaLinux，以一種易于使用且令人愉快的環(huán)境，面向個(gè)人和職業(yè)用戶，提供了Linux的所有功能和穩(wěn)定性。
