Congratulations, Mitchell, It seems the Mandriva distro has many lively and intresting forks and branches. I use Mandriva for my desktop myself, but i would be hard squeezed with a single disk install + 5000 packages on line. I just need a bit more, but the idea is very similar. Mandriva (2006) is a 3 CD distro (1 DVD). It would have 14000 packages on main and contrip + the plf repositories. That is a subset i can feel comfortable with.
BTW, Mandriva 2007 beta1 is available, it is 5 Cd's (one DVD) for download and testing, looks impressive with kde 3.5 etc... I will make a news announcement separate from this post regarding the Mandriva 2007.b1 Cheers Szemir PS.: What i can,t fully comprehend is, why does a desktop distro need to have such a very limited sub-subset of packages and practically no choice in regard to functionality to qualify for anything better than a sucks in desktop ratings. PPS.: I don't mind the live CD, i just do not see it to be all that Representative. I also think that the effort and disk-space used to make a live disk might have been better spent on adding some extra config tools or a few more packages, or maybe some more device drivers etc...
