  1. Didn't know Mandriva still existed? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Now that Ubuntu covers the home-user; RedHat and Suse battle it out for the business market; I assumed Mandriva didn't exist anymore.

    Looks like I'm wrong.

    I agree with you. I have installed Mandriva at work and i laugh all the time because of co-workers that have Ubuntu giving them configuration nightmares.. Mandriva Control Center is light years ahead of anything Ubuntu can throw in....

    Then again, your coworkers laugh at you because you walk around with a small french cock hanging out of your ass, choaderboy.
