This series has covered the essentials of installing Mandriva Linux and putting it to work.

This final instalment covers connecting devices such as printers and scanners, exploring advanced features such as the 3D desktop, having fun with games, and customising Linux.

Mandriva Free is highly customisable. Many users will want to adjust the appearance of the desktop and other aspects of the system. This is done from the KDE Control Centre. On the KMenu choose System then Configuration. This is distinct from the ‘Configure your computer’ shortcut which takes you to the Mandriva Linux Control Center, for system-wide settings.
