  1. Re:Am I the only one who cares? on Mandriva Linux 2010 Is Finally Out · · Score: 1

    No, you're not alone :) I'm happy as well! I've always come back to Mandriva, even though I really like Debian, Arch and OpenSUSE.

  2. Re:How does it compare to Ubuntu? on Mandriva Linux 2010 Is Finally Out · · Score: 1

    Forums, I guess. For example, if you like KDE, I could recommend Mandriva, OpenSUSE, or Arch. If you're not a Linux expert or you don't like to search within a wiki, I would not recommend Arch. If you don't like Mono or Microsoft, I would not recommend OpenSUSE. So, that leads you to Mandriva, which is a very good choice :)

    Mandriva is free. There is only one version (Powerpack) which is not. It's up to you : I've always used the free version.

    To enable webcam : $echo 1 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera
    To disable webcam : $echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera

    I think it exists some more user-friendly tools for this, though I have not looked for them.

  6. Re:Nice idea but... on What Can Mandriva Linux 2006 Mean for Home Users? · · Score: 1
    I assume a newbie would use google to search what means PLF and here is the first link : http://plf.zarb.org/ and here is the description :
    PLF (Penguin Liberation Front) is a repository of RPMs that cannot be included into the Mandrake distro for legal reasons (copyright/license/patent)

    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.
