Just one question: what do you think how many new releases Mandriva will live to see during those years ? And Windows ? I'm not saying it's cheap, I'm saying your comparison is flawed.

Plus, there is the **other** configuration utility included in Mandriva that everybody forgets:
vi
Yes, you can use vi to configure your Mandriva and be happy.
That's why I like Mandriva, choice:
If I'm lazy or I want to show off, I use the Mandriva Control Center.
If I want to configure something fast, screen + vi
I wonder if those who call Mandriva a n00b distro have ever try it to use Mandriva as a serious distro. I do.
Peace!

No.
I just can't think of a reason to use anything *but* Ubuntu on the desktop.
The Linux way might well be summed up as "To Each His Own."
