    Mandriva should just surrender to Ubuntu.

      Do you know what you are? A tea bagging cock smoker. Now pay your $699 license fee.

    I wonder if anyone would figure out how exactly to use Mandriva's KDE 4.x

    I stay with my trustworthy 3.5

    Stop abusing the word "implement". Unless KDE became a concept, and the Mandriva people wrote code that embodies that concept, they didn't implement anything. You don't "implement" anything by installing it, deploying it, and configuring it.

      Or another, like high noise to signal ratio. Like your comment. But hey the internet is made for douches so who cares right.

    Sure, Mandriva are the distribution that feels the need to throw everything out and re-do it differently, and slightly shittier than they had in their previous version.
