Mandriva Linux One Spring 2008 Review

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, I find Mandriva Linux One Spring 2008 to be a very cohesive distro. 
| I lament the fact that most of the major distros have given KDE second-class 
| status and focus most of their development and utilities for Gnome. For 
| example, in Fedora with KDE, I still need to launch the GTK program Pup to 
| update my packages. Kubuntu comes close, but it just doesn’t seem as well 
| put-together as Ubuntu. So it’s nice to see Mandriva championing the KDE. 
| Their utilities seem very easy to use and their KDE menu is not messy at all. 
| The Mandriva art team has put together nice backgrounds, login screens, etc 
| I’m curious to see how they handle the move to KDE 4. I expect they’ll be 
| using KDE 4 for their fall release if KDE 4.1 remains on schedule and 
| releases in July. I’m going to keep a close eye on Mandriva. I may jump ship 
| to them one day. I’d certainly recommend it to new users although as of now 
| I’d probably still recommend it alongside Ubuntu.

The best Linux distributions of spring 2008

,----[ Quote ]
| That wraps it up for the spring of 2008 - openSUSE wins, second time in a 
| row. Obviously there are many other potential distributions out there and 
| actually the amount of choice is almost overwhelming. We try to help the 
| people that are looking for an alternative to Windows, and in our opinion 
| these are the most potential choices for that purpose. They all have their 
| higlights and weaknesses, but overall the offering of openSUSE seems most 
| complete.

Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall we liked what we saw. Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring may not be the best
| distro for the newcomer moving over from Windows, but if you're used to the
| way Linux works and want to try something different, give it a try.
