    Mandriver Linux.

    Is it a decent distro?

    I can't help but correct you on this, but it's called "Mandriva", not "Mandriver". It's bugging me seeing that :\ (OCD's got the best of me)

    As for the OS, I have no clue.

    What one person considers a "decent" distro another may not care for. The best way to decide if you want to use a distro is to try it in Virtualbox. If you like what you see then install it to HDD and use.

    My bad. I'm too tired to read what I type.

    Mandriver does sound odd though.

    OP must be from one of those New England-y states which don't know how to properly pronounce their As and Rs. Ah well...

    Have you ever found something in the second-to-last place you looked?

    In some ways I find Mandriva better then Ubuntu, in hardware detection and tools.

    But it has less software available for it. And you have to add a ton of PLF repos to it. And their software installer is not as good as apt is.

    Let's not say Mandriver again. It sounds dirty.
