I have been a Mandriva user since release 8.2 and think it has been an outstanden distribution.
But ....
After downloaded and installed Mandriva beta 2 I have been a little worried about Mageia.
Mandriva have replaced the old "Menu" with something callED ROSA which I disliked. If Mageia has any idea to do the same I really hope that ther will be possibility to choose between ROSA and the old Menu.
The release of Mandriva beta 2 was in my opinion not ready for distribution, not even as a beta.
Today I can't see any signal that Mageia is going the same way, so far has Mageia done right.
But I'm worried and hope that Mageia will not follow Mandriva to tight.
If Mageia will keep the direction as the betarelease will promise I will be a 100% fan of Mageia.
With hope of the future.
