I have to agree here, after all I said I have looked at suse, ubuntu, fedora core , pclinuxos and find that Mandriva is still the most functional for me. I have a tvcard that I can set up in Mandriva , but none of the other distros. I can get my comps to share a printer with Mandriva but not necessarily on the others. Now I read the interview with Mr. Bacilhon and am encouraged that they will not abandon the individual user. So as we say in the midwest I will "tough it out cowboy" and stay with Mandriva for now.
