    Bullshit : Ubuntu obviously the choice ? They merely offer halt of the content of Mandriva tools. And why would you pay to play DVDs on Mandriva where everythin is under PLF repos ? Where did you read this nonsense (not in the article, I guess). So stop telling the same maketing propaganda, and just face it : Mandriva is an excellent distribution and an excellent choice for newbies.

    lets see my ati pretty mutch fell over and died this includs my tv card that runs on every other linux distro sence the open source drivers work. after abought 3 hrs trying to make shit work in mandriva i just gave up. mandriva used to be good now it sucks. now suse 10 works fine on my pc ati etc all work. most linux users would say blame ati but isnt it odd it works fine in suse. i think suse does something called beta tesing and making shure stuff works not just package and sell it. when my 3d card didnt work i was fine with blaming ati but when the tv card failed my blame switched couse it works in every ver of mandriva befor 2006.

    ubunto isnt perfect eyther it managed to fail on my soundcard witch even works in mandiva.
