mandriva.com) has a massive collection of software
that is tested for use with Mandriva and is directly accessible to members. (A nonmember can view
the available packages, but will not be able to access the files without providing a valid Mandriva
Club membership.) A search tool and various precompiled lists by category, creation date, product
name, maintaining organization/user, and distributor are features of this site.
To find mirror sites that host packages for Mandriva, refer to the Mandriva Club Mirror Finder (see
http://club.mandriva.com and select Downloads???Mirror Finder). In addition to finding
software in the main Mandriva distribution, you can search Club software repositories that include
commercial software, JPackage software, club contributions, and software that is still in testing.
Mandriva Forums
If you have any interest in tracking product development and maybe getting a little help if you
need it, you??™ll want to keep on top of Mandriva news, forums, and Linux User Groups (LUGs).
User forums are a priceless tool for finding solutions to problems, getting involved in softwarerelated
projects, or just connecting with other Mandriva users. The Mandriva users??™ forum
(http://mandrivausers.org/) is a great one with especially in-depth information on installation
and configuration.
