Jason. I don't believe this. Again, Mandriva (Mandrake when
I was using it), is almost a trouble free install with some
minor h/w install hiccups. Ubuntu is basically a trouble
free install (as easy as a Windows install)... only lacking
Flash & Video codec issues, for which, Mandriva and other
distros have already resolved with a simple package install.
This is basically a licensing issue Ubuntu ran into and got
cold feet.
You're proposing the Ubuntu devs are simply using philosophy as a mask
for incompetence?
Mandriva is a French company. They are operating under a different set of
laws. (Some say a different reality as well.)
Mandriva leave a lot out of their distribution. For more information,
look up the Penguin Liberation Front. (http://plf.zarb.org/)
