The Russians Are Coming: A First Look At Rosa 2012 Marathon (O'Reilly)
The O'Reilly Community site has a
review of the Rosa 2012 Marathon distribution. "
The ROSA Labs developers have done an excellent job in creating a polished, functional distribution which is stable, reliable, and performs well. The desktop design is intuitive and user friendly and yet it is not dumbed down. The ability to customize the KDE desktop to suit individual needs or to select an entirely different desktop environment is in no way compromised for the sake of simplicity. New tools and applications like KLook and ROSA Media Player provide functionality which is unique to this distribution. ROSA 2012 Marathon isn't just an update of Mandriva 2011. Rather, it's a fork which takes the distribution in new directions."

I wonder how this would fare in a comparison against that other Mandriva fork, Mageia. Hint for a "Distributions" section article...
