Flash special

Our friends in Mandriva are offering a new product on their website : the Mandriva Flash, which is a USB-bootable flash memory. Provided your PC can boot from USB (recent models can do that), you have access to the Mandriva 3D desktop without installation, and with 1GB of free space available for your documents. This means you can carry on one single key the OS and 1GB of user data.

For what usage ?

- Separate the OS from the PC and transform any available (recent) PC into your familiar environment. Nice for the mail passwords etc.
- Try the Mandriva 3D environment without installation, and with a quicker response than on CD, with USB2.

This product belongs to the same family as "the Globetrotter", a USB hard drive sold by Mandriva. But now we have more features in a smaller form factor.
