   I use OpenMandriva on my work machine and Endeavour at home. Endeavour   
   is so perfect that I'm considering replacing OpenMandriva with it. The   
   absolute only problem I'm having with OpenMandriva is that it doesn't do   
   anything if you try to use the screen configuration feature (Win-P).   
   Every other distribution seems to behave the way Windows does, so I   
   can't imagine what the reasoning with OM's developers is.
