Yea, the American English users tend to slide into a Mandrival, Mangina, Mandriver cognate session. It's a piss poor name, but luckily you have choices beyond Mandriva if you so choose.
http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/ftp.php3 - it seems that you can still download without having to join the Club, as you ever could. Urpmi should still work and I'd guess that the EasyUrpmi sites will still operate.
And if you look, you will see that the Official Edition is the same, whether you download the free version, or buy the 4-CD set. They are identical, minus a few proprietary apps that you can download and install yourself, anyway. Heck, by setting up and using your urpmi repositories correctly, the download version is the same as the Powerpack (6-CD) version!
To be honest, I find the perfpomance of 10.1 Download Commercial Edition, upgraded via urpmi to 10.1 Official Edition, works better for me than the 10.1 OE Powerpack that I have.
