mandriva is going down the drain.

It does not work as good as it used to do.

kernel panics on frech instal and no wierless nor sound. Need a week or to to get something working. It sucks.

Looks like its time to switch to a better distribution.

I tried it yesterday for a few hours and then gave it the dump.
Was not worth the time it took to download it.

Care to share why? What is so wrong with it in your humble opinions?

Without some more real information all we see is you trolling.

Funny, that's my exact thoughts regarding Suse.

I have to agree, With out some back ground we have a troll

kalleanka · 12-05-2006, 01:48 PM

sorry for my trolling. I just had to get my feelings ventilated. So whats wrong?

I bought 3 computers the other week. One laptop(acer aspire 5050 64 bits) for my girlfriend and two stationary(amd 32 bits, asrock k8nf6g-vsta and am2nf6g-vsta). So with the laptop I first got a 64 bit installation and then I got the problem with flash etc so I reinstalled everything with 32 bits and then no is working as it is was with 64bit. Then the wireless is not working at all and the wireless setup system in mandriva is not logical. Further the easyrpm does give errors all the time and this must be a bug. The two other do not even boot after installation. I get kernel panic on a fresh installation on a normal cheep card of the shelf. So I thought that I try the mandriva one live cd and it booted fine so I decided to install that one insteed and skip the new 2007. But when installing on hard drive I got kernel panic again. So now I will try other distros and se if some one do not get kernel panic. Buy the way puppy linux worked on all of them. Go puppy.

It would not be a bad idée for mandriva to sell laptops that just works (with all the drivers). I would buy one.

just want to comment that a few years back I started to use mandriva because it just worked. Now it seams they are back on square one. I know its not there fault with the drivers and the thing with vista and I should check the list better. This is the thing that linux has to be better at.
