Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris I have been using Linux since 1993. I installed the first version of Slackware on a 16MB 386sx-25. Since then I have been using it almost exclusively on one or more of my PCs. So I consider myself as a bit of an expert. I have been using computers since 1982 mostly PCs, but also VAX mainframes and SPARC systems. Operating systems (and GUIs) I have been using include CP/M, DOS, Windows from Version 2 to XP, Geos, Beos, SCO Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and quite a few Linux Distros.

The only problem: no updated packages

Well Mandrake 10 is a nice distribution, but it is lacking bug fix updates. E.g. How can I trust a distribution that is called stable but is still using KDE < 3.2.1 ?
That's why I am still recomending Mandrake 9.2 to my friends, which is using an almost bug free KDE 3.1.3+
Unfortunately there are many other packages that face the same problem.
