Mandriva is actually my fav distro, beating out even Gentoo, the other one I run on my 5 boxes. Mandriva 2006 gives me the same performance (I can't notice any difference) and customizability in a much easier to configure manner. Looking up Google and forums for solutions to<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/etc file problems isn't the funnest way to spend afternoons and nights. Mandriva just works... for anything! I mean, I've installed it on desktops, laptops, and servers, and it runs great in all cases. I can customize every component - do I want X or not; which window manager; config tools?; terminal. Admittedly, there are nice GUI wrappers for tools, but one doesn't have to use them! The command line + config files are always available.
