Title: Mandriva Linux 2006 First Impressions
Post by ReeBop on Nov 29^th, 2005, 6:28am

I've done 3 upgrades of systems. One for myself and 2 for others and I have to say that Mandriva Linux 2006 is showing itself to be a fine release. I have not encountered one issue with it thus far. I have yet to setup my PLF depository setting with Easy URPMI, but I feel that this will be easy as well. It seems quite fast; maybe a little faster than Mandriva 2005. The Mandrake tools work flawlessly. I did run into a slowness with 2005 for a little while when KDE first started up, but this has not appeared with 2006. One disappointment is that there is no OpenOffice 2.0. They have stayed with version 1.1.5. I hope that I can find a RPM file to update my Mandriva to that version.

I recommend this distribution to everyone that wants to install Linux on their desktop.
