Mandriva users from all over the world exchange their interest in new Linux technologies thanks to community support. They help new users get comfortable with Linux basics. This community, animated by the passion of the free software, is what has made the Linux and the Mandriva community so unique since the inception of our distribution in 1998.

This community is open: we invite you to join other Mandriva Linux users to share your experience, ask questions or just say "Hi!". You can easily join other users by connecting to the Community website and following the major links to community resources. Register simply on the Register page.

As an added bonus, we are inviting you to become a registered and identified member of this community. The registration is free-of-charge and open to all. There is no membership fee. By registering you can interact with other community members as an identified member on the forums, not just as "Joe Anonymous User".
