That's right, I bought Mandriva 2005 DVD for about $15AUD. There's some
issues with Mandriva that are not evident in Ubuntu, but it just has
everything on the DVD, including at least 4 window managers that I know
of and they have done a lot of work at making the OS more usable, mainly
through the control centre and kmenu structure. I like Kubuntu because I
can manage to download it on dial up, the updates are smaller, and you
can upgrade online easier.
