Many moons ago I ran Mandrake 9 on one of my boxes and liked and used
it extensively. Recently I tried Mandriva and was very disappointed by
its performance. If anything, it appears to have gone backwards sine I
last used it.
I have tried some ten distros over the past three years and have come
to the conclusion that at present Ubuntu (and its derivatives) and
Suse (10.3 not 10.2) are the best performers. Ubuntu installation is
now good and its update and package management excellent. Suse, has
CRN (so does Ubuntu I believe, but where?) and its configuration is
better than Ubuntu (though Kubuntu is almost as good). Fedora seemed
to bleeding edge for my boxes.
I run both Vista and Ubuntu on my main box and XP and Kubuntu on the
other. I find there are still programs and functions only Windows can
offer, but for most of the mundane things Ubuntu is just as effective.
I think it will be some time before I am prepared to go Linux solo, it
seems to me that Windows is overpriced, and Linux over hyped.
