Not sure what that means, but I have used Mandriva and PCLinuxOS both 
since the very first day they were available (1998 for Mandrake).  Since 
I am a KDE/XFCE user, Mandriva has been the superior Distro for my use 
on every PC I have had.  I got interested in Mageia when they announced 
and tried to help with the logo, but got too busy and have lost contact 
with them.

I'll download and try it out soon and make the decision to switch after 
a thorough test drive...

I started out with Slack and Debian, never liked Red Hat/Fedora or 
Ubuntu and I primarily use Puppy on a USB drive now...  Most 
importantly, I only use Linux at home and that other OS at work sometimes...
