   And I can't get the LiveDVD to boot beyond the bar when the desktop   
   starts. It stays constant, then the screen turns black with a cursor   
   visible.  I burned the DVD twice. In fairness to them, we have the best   
   of their developers, and they had to start from scratch, largely.   
      
   In reply to your last line, yesterday I found an old blog post by a   
   user who had advanced from Ubuntu to Arch then Mandriva 2010.  With   
   time it became like "the girl next door."  Then he found Mageia, and   
   thought he had "the girl next door" again.  That was pretty accurate   
   back then.  Now OpenMandriva are going their own way, and becoming   
   exclusively KDE.
