The writer never stated he likes Ubuntu, he wrote Debian, which believe it or not is not the same- n00bs. I believe the writer has a point, Mandriva is pretty limited due to poor adoption, although they try hard, your best hope is finding an rpm for redhat that works. They should have had the good sense to adopt apt4rpm like PCLOS did instead of developing their own cumbersome system. I love synaptic, it makes the most sense if we're talking graphical package managers. What crack are YOU GUYS smoking?

The lack of compatibility between various distributions is not Mandriva's problem alone - it is the problem of the Linux community in general. FYI, I have been using Ubuntu for 3+ years now, but I just had to speak up against this ridiculous assertion.

First of all, Mandriva and Suse are RPM based distros, and besides packaging, there are numerous differences compared to a Debian based distro. Just go to a terminal and type "init 3" and see what happens. In RPM based distros, you get dumped to a CLI. In Debian based distros, this doesn't work the same. It's not the only difference, either. They are almost 2 different animals in many ways. Second, this is something that happens in waves. Just a few years ago, many proprietary software binaries were RPM only. They specifically would build one labeled for Red Hat, but it worked in all RPM based distros. Third, if you like Ubuntu, then use it. Don't bother trying to change an RPM based distro to be more like Debian/Ubuntu. Many of us use RPM based distros because we actually don't like the Debian model at all and would rather go back to Windows before being force fed Ubuntu. There are literally hundreds of Linux distros out there, if Mandriva doesn't fit, I'm sure another one will. What crack are you smoking?
