Mandriva Linux avoids bankruptcy; we test the new version (ars technica)
Ars technica takes
a look at Mandriva 2010 Spring. "The OS ships with KDE 4.4.3 and version 2.6.33.5 of the Linux kernel. Mandriva has its own custom user interface theme that is used across both KDE and GNOME, and its default KDE configuration deviates from that of upstream KDE. It uses a Folder View containment as the default activity and it has a conventional application menu instead of KDE's Kickoff menu. These changes are intended to make KDE 4 feel more like the classic user experience of the KDE 3.5.x series."

First impressions are of a slick well-integrated system, finds all my hardware, printers on the network, webcam and its usb mic etc etc. (Recently had occasion to install a recent version of a proprietary OS on a partition; driver nightmare by comparison.)
So nice when stuff just works.

If only they would switch to being based on Debian then I would switch to it in an instant.
Sigh.
