The boys and girls in the Mandriva team have released Mandriva Linux 2010.0. This new Mandriva release obviously brings the latest and greatest from the open source and Linux communities, including the latest KDE and GNOME releases. Among other things, boot time has been a priority.

I'm thoroughly confused that Mandriva gets little to no attention when other distros seem to live in their own reality distortion field, hurting the image of desktop Linux even further if that's actually possible.
Because I can't mod you up any longer, I want to stress how much I agree with your words.

From my cursory amount of testing a few months ago I found that I got far less stress and anxiety from Mandriva, OpenSuse.....and then Ubuntu in that order. Ubuntu's development process is quite frankly shoddy and haphazard and you have no idea what will get fixed or broken from release to release. It's released on time and you can't complain because you're getting it for free.
Mandriva have their QA spot on, they seem to know what they want out of their desktop OS and their objectives and they're not just bumping packages every few months. They're not just releasing something because the deadline is up. While they probably have the best KDE 4 implementation out there right now their Gnome implementation isn't too shabby either. When they produce something as good as this it makes paying for the Powerpack worth it.
