   	I don't know where your Facebook page came from as I never saw one put   
   up automatically but 1210.2 must be a unique distribution. :^)   
      
   	I moved from 2010.2 to PCLOS after paying for Mandriva 2011 and   
   having it not work on my computer.  It took me until this spring to do   
   that but PCLOS is a lot like Mandriva but updated and it has its little   
   peculiarities as well but it does not put up Facebook pages unless some   
   one sends me link.   
   	The chief difference is that root passwords and user accounts etc. are   
   added after the installation and reboot.  This is a rolling release with   
   several new ISOs per year and much later kernels than   
   Mandriva will let you install.   
      
   	I booted up an old Mandriva install on my Dell Inspiron 4000   
   yesterday and it ran well enough but when I asked for updates I got   
   nothing.  As soon as I can I will put PCLOS KDE 32 bit on there.   
   Probably will have to keep it on for a week to catch up on the updates.
