Re: [newbie] Which Mandriva is best for me?

[Hawkwind]

The best recommendation is try many different distros for a few weeks and then decide for yourself.  No one can tell you what you like best, or what feels most comfortable to YOU personally.  If you listen to what others tell you to use, then chances are you won't accomplish what YOU want to accomplish.  What I might find useable and comfortable you might totally despise and find not very useable or comforting to you and your needs/wants.

I am planning to come back to Linux arena after been away for about 2 years.  I used to be a SUSE user and a very happy one. 

 

I am considering either: "Get Mandriva" or "Wait a few weeks for Suse 10" and still not sure which product best fit my needs.

 

Me:

 

Home user running a laptop HP Pavilion zt3000.  Any feedback on this product for running Mandriva?

Will Mandriva recognize my DVDR and both NetworkCards (one of them wireless) from defacto instalation?

Can I download Mandriva 10 trial somewhere? I currently got Mandrake 8.2 included in a magazine and haven't finished install it yet but would like to try your latest version.

 

Before deciding for Mandriva, which would be the best product for me?  I've read you have a Discovery, PowerPack, Desktop1.4_Gold_Edition, which one should I start with?
