   I wish Mandriva community the best, and hope to have Mandriva again run   
   on my computers one day, hopefully sooner rather than later. While I am   
   not a Linux veteran in the true sense, and do not understand the console   
   work well, I am encouraged by the progress Linux is making.   
      
   I do not say the above lightly-- I purchased a 3-year Mandriva Power   
   Pack subscription before Mandriva went uncertain as to continuance, and   
   I am on a disabled person's income. So, you might say I have a somewhat   
   small multi-way vested interest in Mandriva continuing also.   
      
   However, I cannot really help debug stuff, so I have to look for what   
   works on my hardware with minimal investment of time and effort at setup   
   and configuring. So, for now I will mostly lurk and learn and try to get   
   the results working here as best as I can from time to time.   
      
   As Jim B. says, Cheers for better news!   
      
   John.
