3 months with Mandriva 2008 (production use)

,----[ Quote ]
| It’s been three months now, since I started using Mandriva 2008 at work. I 
| work at a web dev company where we do PHP/AJAX/XHTML/CSS stuff. Three months 
| ago, by the time I came into the company, we received laptops and some of us 
| decided to use Linux.

Seems like a gradual dessertion of Windows.

Adios Microsoft!

| Ubuntu imported most of my pictures, music, and documents from Windows.
| There were some oddly named folders it missed. This was not problem as
| I was able to easily retrieve them when the setup was complete. I
| haven't reinstalled everything I normally use but all the major
| applications "just worked" after upgrading. I know this sounds
| like an advertisement for Ubuntu, I guess it is. I'll continue
| using it and report back on my progress.

| It had a pirated copy of XP Professional on it so I formatted the
| drive. Then I thought I'd give Ubuntu another try. Well I loaded it
| up and quite honestly I still don't see what all the fuss is about it.
| So I installed PCLinuxOS which runs quite well. But I was poking around a
| few sites and downloaded SUSE 10.2 and installed that instead. Wow! What
| a difference and I have to say so far this is the best version of Linux
| that I've used yet though PCLinuxOS is close behind.
