   hi fans of the draktools,   
      
   	Well I tried to boot up a DVD written this afternoon of   
   OpenMandrivaLx_3beta1.x86_64.iso.  This strangely enough uses   
   KDE's Plasma 5 and Wayland rather than X.   
      
   	From Grub2 it would not complete the boot on my Pavilion.   
   I fell asleep waiting for it.   
   	From the non-uefi menu it booted but seemed very slow   
   and unstable putting a lot of stress on my AMD A10 4 core processor.   
   according to the heat I felt coming thru the vents.   
   	Once it was up it was no champion and while the Plasma 5   
   is colorful it represents no particular advance.  The screen   
   felt quite unstable.   
      
   	I may try to get it running on VirtualBox but am in no   
   hurry to try it again.   
   	More about this later.   
      
   	But I have to say I feel it is in the same league as   
   the  Mageia-6-dev1-x86_64-DVD.iso.   Some distance from a   
   distribution release.
