    I’ve got it in a virtualbox. Its running nicely.
    Gnome done right and KDE done right. The quality of Mandriva releases has improved vastly over the last few years.

    I am excited to see mobiln, also sugar and moovia would be there. Sounds like a winner.

    I am excited about the USB isos too. They save my life before.

    Mandriva you are doing a nice job, you are the distribution of my choice for years. The quality of your tools gets better with every release and therefore I don’t even think about switching away from you, I just hope that others will also discover your greatness and that you’ll have a long life.

    2010.0 is looking to be another fantastically good Mandriva release.

    Many thanks for all your hard work.

    I got RC1 working on A20m, T22 and 600 Thinkpads. Now it’s time to try RC2. :)
