There had been so much going on at the PCLOS forums. I sort of enjoyed the drama. I need politeness like you find at Mepis. Those folks are really nice, but Debian based OSes don't do well for me sometimes.
So, I tried Mageia and I have been really happy with it. A few things have broken from time to time but nothing serious. The last update of Firefox changed my icons and I'm not sure how to get it back like it was but it is close to the point that I can live with it. But FF in Mageia runs really fast for me because it is using memory instead of swap, at least I think that's why it is so fast.
I got Skype working once I found out how to properly configure it. My printer quit working after an update but someone on their forums told me how to fix that and it was really simple.
Kedit went rogue on me so I switched to Kate which I really like much better than Kedit, so that turned out to be a good thing.
