In simple terms Mandriva is a linux operating system for your computer both desktops and laptops. The operating system of a computer is the system installed on your hard drive which allows all of the programs on your computer to operate. The most popular operating system is Windows. Linux is an alternative to the Windows operating system. A linux operating system consists of a kernel(basically the heart of the system) with many free programs and distributions built around it. The key word is free. Mandriva is meant to be a free operating system built with free programs which basically was invented and contributed by users. There are some paid programs which may be installed to increase functionality but those are optional. Mandriva can be run on your computer without spending a dime. And if you know what you are doing you can make it do everything Windows does.
