A look at Mandriva Linux 2008 

,----[ Quote ]
| There were aspects of this Mandriva release that I really liked, such as the 
| installer and the Control Center but overall the system didn't really grab 
| me. It is quite a decent, well put-together operating system with all the 
| basics and a few extras like the Control Center and 3D desktop effects. It 
| was stable and ran well, but on the whole it didn't seem to offer anything 
| exciting enough to make me want to switch to the distribution permanently. 
| For the seasoned Mandriva user, I get the impression this will be quite a 
| worthy upgrade, but as for me I'm going to check back when the next release 
| arrives.

| 8 "Smarties" out of 10.

| If you hate the word Ubuntu and just dont like the system, Mandriva works 
| well and the PowerPack contains everything you need unlike the Ubuntu default 
| install.

Battle of the Titans: Mandriva 2008 vs openSUSE 10.3

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall Winner
| 
| In our little just-for-fun comparison, we the judges find that Mandriva wins 
| by 4 categories to 2. But to the original question the answer would be to go 
| buy the Mandriva Power Pack or try PCLOS or ALT Linux in which advanced power 
| saving feature do work out of the box. Also, YMMV.   
| 
| However, don't forget that both openSUSE and Mandriva are both nice distros. 
| This little article is highly subjective and you may not agree. That's okay. 
| I love them both.  
| 
| Winner: Mandriva 2008.0

Mandriva 2008.0 rocks

| Mandriva 2008.0 seems to be a splendid release. Since setup I've not 
| experienced any problems. My system is fast, responsive, and stable. The new 
| artwork is gorgeous, and the fonts look great as well. I was pleased with the 
| hardware support, especially the powersaving features. I can play any  
| multimedia file format I have, and watch Flash videos on the Web.

Mandriva Linux PowerPack 2008.0 review

,----[ Quote ]
| Like I usually say when Mandriva is at the apex of its release cycle, this is 
| desktop Linux as it should be. It's as advanced and complex as you need it to 
| be, and as automatic as most people would like it to be. Unlike nearly every 
| other desktop-oriented OS, with Mandriva I never run into incidents where the 
| automatic parts of the system interfere with my intentions for desktop 
| operation.
