MandrivaLinux(原先的Mandrakelinux)创建于1998年,其宗旨是让Linux对所有人都更易于使用。当时Linux作为操作系统已经以强大和稳定而著称,但它要求人们有很强的专业知识,并涉及大量的命令行操作。MandrakeSoft认为这是一个将最好的图形桌面环境及其自己的图形界面配置工具集成到Linux中的机会,并且很快就因其树立了易用性和功能性的标准而著称。依靠这种创新的方法,MandrivaLinux通过一种易于使用并令人愉快的环境,向个人和企业用户提供了Linux所有的强大功能和稳定性。每天都有成千上万的新用户在初识Linux并发现它可以完全替代他们之前所使用的操作系统。无论是作为服务器还是工作站,Linux都用不着去妒嫉任何其他更广为采用的操作系统了。
