I know that everyone raves about Ubuntu but I prefer Mandriva. I have
installed Ubuntu on my development system but for general use Mandriva is
far and away the dest distro I have used. They have returned to great form
with "Spring", I used 10.1 for as long as possible. The in between versions
I didn't like as much and I missed 2005 out completely. The repositories
are chock full of great apps and for my money (or lack of it) Kontact is
just perfect.
