Well, I went ahead and did it.  I installed Mandriva One Spring 2009 on my computer.  I have to say I am liking it quite a bit.  The only thing that wasn't in the repo was Flock so I just downloaded that and stuck it in my home folder and no problemo!  Of course, I had to copy that pesky flash file over but enough of that, I'll stick a 1-2-3 tutorial on the other site for that one (don't worry it's easy).  So, if I ever get the money (haha) to have wireless internet, that baby will be connected in no time!  Also, I can finally use the USB cable that I bought for my phone nearly 4 months ago.  For some reason Linux Mint would not under any circumstances, recognize that cable!  I had to remove my memory card, stick it in a reader and mount that..then unmount it, put it back in my phone and reset everything that was on it that I was using at the time (gawds, just typing that wore me out).  Now, on Mandriva, it's detected right off the bat and transferring items from my phone to Happy Fun Machine is once again a pleasure.  I'm pointedly ignoring any smirking going on in Scotland right about now.
