I use Linux professionally on servers, desktops, laptops, phones and Mandriva's current 2008-Spring is simply brilliant for a desktop or laptop computer. Fast, complete, easy to install and maintain.
Yet every time there is a Mandriva story there are a bunch of uninformed comments that seem to take delight in tarnishing Mandriva's good name. Yes there were some so-so releases, such as Mandriva 10 for me, but for the most part, it has been a great distribution to work with and one that today surpasses many others in easy of use and reliability.
The one thing that I will say is that I am not sure the time to move to KDE4 has arrived yet. I still think it's too new and uncooked, whereas KDE 3.5.9 has been simply perfect.
If I were Mandriva I would stick to the 3.5 series for at least another release and let other be "pioneers".
By the way has k3b been ported to kde4?
But hey, to each its own.
