Story: 'Polished' Moblin adds 3G support, plug-ins
A different polish.
After deciding that Moblin wasn't as good as the press release indicated, I
downloaded Mandriva 2010.0 One, and tried it on 3 different desktops. From an older ,2003 Gateway to a new AMD, AM3 socket, built less than a month ago, and it would not boot on any of them. I tried it on my netbook and it booted flawlessly. I decided to install it, and was pleasantly surprised. It is not as fast as Moblin, but it found my neighbor's WIFI, plays all media, got my mail, and so far I have not had any problems. It takes up a lot more space, being a full blown desktop installation, but it works, and in the end, that is all I expect.
