All things Linux; Ubuntu vs Mandriva and paradigm shift
,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva is actually my ‘favourite’ distribution and has been for quite a
| number of years, but the main reason I ended up with Ubuntu on the desktop
| was primarily due to wireless support - after endless problems with Mandriva
| wireless (with 2 different USB wireless adapters) I gave up and migrated to
| Ubuntu instead. Shame on me! In the past I didn’t like their development
| model as much but it has improved a lot over the last few releases so I was
| prepared for “words on toast” and change to Ubuntu. On the laptop I still
| kept Mandriva as it worked well for what I wanted and wireless support was OK
| etc. As they all use the ’standard’ Linux kernel the main differences between
| the various distributions are the things they add on compared to the standard
| kernel. Things like the user admin interface, package manager (for software
| installation), etc.

| I love the look of Mandriva (GNOME). The colors are attractive, the packaged
| background is pretty, the icons look great, and after changing the window
| borders back to good ol' Clearlooks, everything was just as I like it. Hell,
| flash support was even already available in Firefox. I haven't tried to see
| if the system already supports DVD playback and such yet, but I expect it
| will. It's nice to have a distro where these things are already supported,
| since that saves a bit of time after install.

Mandriva Linux 2009 impresses
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the more exciting inclusions in Mandriva 2009 is the incorporation of
| the LUKS encryption system into the installer. What this means is that
| Mandriva 2009 will allow users to encrypt their partitions directly from the
| installer.

Living with Mandriva

| That’s pretty much all I’ve done. So far, nothing has crashed, Plasma has
| behaved itself and everything has “just worked”. Mandriva has made me forget
| that I’m using KDE 4, which is actually a good thing!
