    Download Mandrake LINUX

    Which one to download from here?

    mandriva-linux-free-2009.1-dual.iso
    OR
    mandriva-linux-free-2009.1-i586.iso

    Code:
    ftp://ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/mandrake/official/iso/2009.1/
    And what are the differences between these two?

    The dual iso is dual architecture (32 and 64 bit). i586 means 32 bit Pentium compatible architecture. For more information, read the README file in the link you posted.

    I don't know. If it's not, it's pretty easy to install using Mandriva's package manager though.
