Yeah, like I've said in other posts, I've been using Mandrive since before Connectiva got in the mix, and it was Mandrake. The first version I jumped on was Mandrake 7.2 (Odyssey) back in 2000, after jumping off of Redhat 7 (Guinness). I usually upgrade about once every year or so, going to 8.1 (Vitamin), 8.2 (Bluebird), and 9.2 (FiveStar), but used FiveStar from 2003 until last year when I made the huge leap to 2006.0 Community. Freaking amazing. So since 2000, I've been using it at home, in my vehicles, and even used it as a requirement for hire when a new company wanted to bring me on (which is from where I'm typing right now, in fact). I haven't bumped up versions yet on any of my machines, so 2006.0 is my most recent installation, and I rarely use it for a production server (though almost always for my local test and development environments), but as long as Mandriva keeps everything in the spirit of the original Mandrakelinux project, I don't see myself jumping ship completely. I'll add a CentOS server or play with an Ubuntu distro here and there, but Mandrake will always be home to me. -- Daniel P.
