CentOS i really don't like. Not just because everyone uses it. But because its the biggest. Which means if someone does find a security hole, a lot of people will be down. But if you use a smaller server distro, you may not be affected.

Have to be honest. I scrapped it after only a few hrs. Sad
Yep back with my trusted Mandriva Smile

Why? What Happened that made you not like it?

When i rebooted it started playing up. Screen shutting down and back up real quick. Then caused an error based on that.
Sure it prob relates back to an onboard graphics issue but Mandriva is able to deal with it easily.

Indeed mate. Mandriva rocks.

Personal offtopic question,

Damink, would you buy the paid version of Mandriva?

You could go through hell and downgrade it's kernel through Shell. :^)
