11/15/2005: Gotta get back to basics....
Because of circumstances beyond my control (for the most part), I've been spending way too much time in Windows XP at home (basically, some work projects that I take home demand use of software that is Windows specific, and in my free time I've been replaying the 1944 MLB season in Out of the Park Baseball 6.5, which is also a Windows specific program). But I've just stumbled across a comprehensive review of Mandriva Linux 2006, and I see I'm way overdue to make my annual contribution to the French economy, and to spend much more time in the Open Source Community. The review includes some screenshots, and I have to say that the KDE desktop looks sweet....
Check it out. I've been a very happy Mandrake Linux user since Mandrake 8.0 ("Mandriva" is a "rebranding" of Mandrake, occasioned because a) Mandrake acquired Lycoris and Connictiva, and b) The Company-Formerly-Known-As-Mandrake was stupid enough to sue the Hearst syndicate in order to get Hearst to "rebrand" their classic comic strip character, "Mandrake the Magician", and the court ordered them to rebrand instead), and I can testify that it's about as close to an idiot proof Linux distribution that you're going to find (i.e., you don't need to be a geek to live happily ever after with Mandriva).
