Excellent distribution. For me it works better than any other OS, including Windows and Apple. I can do most anything, write presentations, edit, process, and embed videos.
I heartily recommend Mandriva 2010.2

Other than the Gnome panel not wanting to stay or crashing, the 2010.1 (spring) edition is excellent! I heartily recommend it. It seems much better than the 2010 edition, at least for me....

Very nice! First class hardware detection. Fairly quick to boot.

I have used Mepis some and Mandriva for several years.
I wanted to used Debian for a long time, mainly because of the social contract, but was never quite able to install it due to my ineptitude. Finally, with 5.0 I hit a home run. I love it and will stick with Debian. Maybe Debian can fix the auto login keyboard bug in Gnome?

I have been playing around with the Mandriva one Gnome cd for a while. It is a great distro, so I am going to update my computer from 2009 to 2009.1.

I am posting a reply simply to chime in and say that if you enjoy Mepis, please consider buying a download subscription or support Mepis otherwise.
This would give Warren more of an incentive and time to work on the distribution.

Finally got around to installing the 64-bit edition. All is well, except
a couple little problems. Kpowersave will crash on login. Putting a command directly in autostart will also crash. However, setting a symlink to kpowersave in the startup folder is a suitable workaround. No restricted driver for my graphics card, so graphics performance when playing some games is subpar. (32-bit had an excellent restricted driver) Wish there was a top notch OSS driver, oh well.
My conclusion still stands,even with those minor annoyances. A great OS!
UPDATE! I have installed Mandriva 2009 Powerpack on my machines.
Mandriva is continuing their winning streak. This distro is close to being perfect. Just for the record. I have recently tried a number of other distributions, but none can compare to this one.
I strongly recommend it.

Installed with nary a hitch on my computers. I could not
get the built-in sound on my Vaio to work. A cheap 5.1 soundcard took care of that.
