It's all the different distros that are killing Linux. If only they would all band together under 1 distro they could make it more than a novelty. I have Ubuntu 9.10 RC and I'd have to say it is the best by far.

Seeing all the other outfits continue to move foward at a snails pace makes me cringe when I think of all the development talent going to waste making lackluster distros.

The next Ubuntu will change all this I hope.

I know this is supposed to be about Mandriva but it dosen't hold a candle to Ubuntu 9.10 IMO

It's not 2010 yet... is this some stupid marketing trick to sound ahead of the game when compared to say Ubuntu which has only just put out 2009.10?

It's getting like the magazine racks where it's only just November, but all the December issues are out...

Mandrake, at the time was, based on Red Hat like so many other distributions. But since many years, it is not true to day.
There are, hovewer, distribution(s) based on Mandriva.
