Mandriva Linux Powerpack is one of three editions of the Linux desktop published by Mandriva, the French Linux software publisher. The others are Mandriva Linux One and Mandriva Linux Free, both of which are free to download and use. Mandriva Linux Powerpack is the commercial edition, and costs 49 EUR, or 62 USD. In this tutorial, we take a somewhat detailed review of Mandriva Linux Powerpack 2009, which was released on October 9, 2008.

Installation: Te Mandriva Linux Powerpack installer is the same one that Mandriva Linux Free uses. It is an advanced installer with support for Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM), and RAID, and the options to configure encrypted partitions. Unlike Fedora 9, however, it doesn’t have the option for encrypting the whole system. The default disk partitioning method is non-LVM, but f you choose to configure LVM, the installer gives you a number of options as shown in the image below. Click here for a step-by-step guide on how toconfigure LVM in Mandriva Linux Free, which is also applicable to Mandriva Linux Powerpack.
