   	And if anyone is worried they should take a look at the   
   PCLinux OS.   If you want full set of eye candy go for the   
   Full Monte but the other versions are OK. It has the best   
   parts of the old Mandriva with a renamed MCC.   
   	No it is not bleeding edge and not a beta or   
   an alpha release.  I am waiting to see what Mandriva does   
   but trying anything that looks a bit interesting.  Paid   
   for Mandriva PWP 2011 but it would not install usably.   
   	So many bugs and problems with the install   
   that I went right on back to 2010.2.
