Then maybe you should consider writing factual headlines instead of lying
in them.

Now what the fuck does osnews have to do with this article?

But he did not just Try mandriva, he's been running Mandriva for a long
time. That's the part you can't seem to get through your skull. You lied.

Can you spell dishonest.
Why can't you get it through your skull that making up headlines is not
honest.

Gee, that must be the part where I explicitly said "And, while it says
great things about this release of Mandriva".

And it has *NOTHING* to fucking do with the original post, which didn't
mention Dell or Ubuntu or Debian. There's no "lateral" thinking involved
here, it's *COMPLETELY* irrelevant, other than involving Linux.
