pointyblue Hi Swaroop, How long ago did you try out Ubuntu? The new 7.10 version is simply awesome - and very user friendly, even to newbies, which has always been linux's biggest problem. What exactly is it you miss in Ubuntu?

Mandriva Linux distribution, do you like it?

andben @andben (1075) • Italy 10 Feb 07

I installed Mandriva Linux distribution and I'm very happy of it. It is simple to install and to use. Mandriva uses rpm packages and so you can find and install new software very easily. It's not very fast but I like it.
