Re: [LUG] Mandriva One wifi

 

forget out suggestions for crunch bang etc, it's a very minimal distro
for low powered machines and is nothing like the kind of thing you seem
to want. I like mandriva, but found it hung on my elderly laptop. As for
mint,m its a good distro but is based on a gnome desktop, where you seem
to like kde. I would suggest Kubuntu. It looks and feels like mandriva
and because it is related to ubuntu has lots of easy to install
softwarwe and drivers.
