"Mandriva Linux 2006, released last month, feels very much like a natural evolution of earlier Mandrake releases - in both good and bad ways. As I tested the PowerPack edition, I was disappointed to find many of the same rough edges that drove me away from Mandrake still present in this new incarnation."

I remember when i tried Mandrake a few years ago. I think it was 10.1 or the late 9.x versions. After a clean install, installing a RPM through the Control Center would corrupt the "start menu" (Not sure what to call it. 2006 calls it "k menu"). The only way to prevent losing the start menu was to install a bug fix RPM BEFORE installing the other RPMs.
Currently on 2006, I can't get smb4k to find any network shares. I was playing around on another computer running 2006 and lost all the applications from the start menu. Clickong on "Home" turns up a window asking me which program I want to use to run it, and the program list was empty. The only way to navigate was to use the Run command and type on Konqueoror or MMC for the control center.
Uninstalled and reinstalled KDE multiple times (alternating between MMC and Synaptic). Got KDE back and smb4k also magically worked. Still can't get smb4k to work on my own computer...
