Nah. Just that the Mandrake (now Mandriva) users have found it pointless to comment, because they'll just be feeding the Ubuntu / Gentoo trolls. They'd rather be productive than spend all their time looking at their softcore desktop pr0n, or compiling KDE from source. (Yes, that was a troll.)

p.s. Mandriva is such a silly sounding name. A cow-orker suggested that we should write a script to replace all instances of "Mandriva" with "Mandrake" in our installation.
