From my understanding, yes, you can update your release candidate versions to the FINAL through Mandriva updates when they release the official Mandriva 2006. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, I installed Mandriva RC2 on my desktop and it's not ready. lol
I had the options of choosing the video card and monitor and no combination gave me a working 'test' screen. it was all garbled. I tried every combination from monitors to video cards to monitor refresh rates to resolution blah blah blah. None worked. I guess it's up to RC3 or the final release! :eek: I have a Nvidia 6600GT video card and a Samsung Syncmaster 930B monitor |

when i use a beta/rc i expect all kinds of problems but even with the final releases not every disttro is gonna work on evey pc and i think thats what people that just start linux need to understand instead of having "linux" you have tons of "linux" not like M$ wher eyou only have a certian number of them.

Any other distros worth trying until Mandriva 2006 comes out? |
you may try Fedora Core 4.
|
try going to http://www.distrowatch.org to find out all the big distros
i would suggest trying SuSe, slackware, fedora, or if you feel up to the challenge install Gentoo or LFS :Pengy: |

Anyway, just my really quick two cents on the distros. Still looking forward to the final release of Mandriva 2006 on my laptop! |
i agree Yast is very good im more fond of yum but its all in what you like. im running mandriva 2006 beta and i have to say even for a beta i ran into very few issues with anything. i use fedora and breezy more so than i do mandriva but i go to it every few days run updates and play with it
