   	Hi former users of Mandriva,   
      
   		Mageia 5 got high marks in Distrowatch weekly recently.   
   It is more like Mandriva at this point than any other distribution.   
   It does have full support for UEFI installs but does not support the   
   secure boot.   
   	Some long time users are having a multitude of problems   
   though as you can read in the Usenet newsgroup.   
      
   		We are still waiting for Texstar to get the U/EFI adaptation for   
   PC-LOS finished and out for download.  In April he   
   said it was taking a long time.   
   	I used PCLOS when I gave up on Mandriva 2010.2 which was   
   quite a while after the 2011 failed to work on my notebook of the   
   time.   When I had to get a new notebook due to physical failure   
   of my older one, i had to change to Mageia 4.1 which supported   
   UEFI and GPT.   
      
   		Open Mandriva has abandoned the KDE Desktop Manager   
   which is sad I think but then Plasma 5 is not yet ready for prime time.   
   But OM seems to support UEFI but since I don't care for the DM I   
   have never bothered to install to my hard drive.
