Mandriva 2009.1 Spring released on 29th April,2009. I have downloaded the x86 64 free and installed on my Core 2 Duo with 1 gb mem no extra grapics card just with on-board graphics. It rocks! there was problem using Compiz in 2009.0 but in 2009.1 it is solid!. Like Ubuntu you can install Mandriva from Windows. I have tried all the main Desktops i.e. KDE, GNOME, XFCE and LXDE. Everything works fine without any problem.

Thumbs up
Any Distro based upon the Debian core suits me.

personal favourites: - Knoppix, Ubuntu.

and yeah, coz i use many Windows special apps, and am a casual gamer, i prefer the Live CD / Live DVD versions.

Currently m using a distro called Nimblex. this is the only distro that worked for me off a CD as well as a pen drive. tried gentoo, GOS, DSL, dint work. only Nimblex worked right off the mark. so, one more point for Debian.

that i know. and i have tried KUbuntu on Live DVD. looks awesome.
however, when i tried to install onto a pendrive, it lands me on a "very limited shell". dunno what else to do.

as i said. a lot is possible. but Nimblex worked for me out of the box. and ease of use is what i was lookin for.

thanks for the reply, though.

Good to see another gentoo admirer.

Yes it has died down in many respects, but still the fastest distribution around.

I think main problem was docs which at one time were renewed & also the websites had many old pages. Monthly newspaper is quite old there.

Hi I am using Ubuntu since last 1 year, i used 8.10 right now i am using the 9.04 ,its really nice OS, what i think is the main diffrence between this distribution and other is the way ubuntu handle package managment, its simply great.

Synaptic package distribution is same in all ubuntu version. Its just that they might have added some repositories.

It is just beginner friendly in interface.

The best that I have tried is PCLinuxOs. It is easily configurable and quite fast. BTW, can any of the Linux experts suggest a Linux that can be installed within Windows 7 - 64 bit version ? I tried Linux Mint, it wouldn't install ! So, I haven't tried Ubuntu. Thanks.
