   And Mageia is in turn based on Fedora, with input from Red Hat, who want   
   to be like Windows to capture the business users.  Even OpenSuse   
   isn't as close to Windows as Fedora.  OpenSuse is probably still my   
   second choice.   
      
   DistroWatch says that Openmandriva is based on Rosa, but I saw a mention   
   some time ago in the Mageia blog, of a partnership with Mageia.   
   The different versions of RPM were the main stumbling-block.   
      
   BTW, Chapeau found all my non-POP mailing lists, but had no email client.   
   Win 10 has an email client, but can't import my mailing lists.  Which is   
   better?  And Microsoft is now developing its own Linux distro.

   I agree with no man's opinions.  I have some of my own.
