Lets see again what features had made us like linux in the
first place:<br>
- It used to be light and fast. (not like KDE4 or win Vista)<br>

I also agree and left KDE for gnome when kde4 arrrised<br>

- It used to be able to run for months, even years without a
crash or need to<br>
reboot.. (not like knotify4 and pulseaudio)<br>
- It used to do all the things we wanted, with plethora of
tools (not like<br>
Gnome or Apple)<br>

Why ? I can do whatever I want with Gnome, and customise it; it can
be improved though.<br>

- It used to allow us to configure either through gui tools,
or through<br>
cmdline and text files (not like the modern "desktop" trends).<br>

Gnome does , LXDE does, xfce does, fvwm did not (through gui). And
since you have access to command line you can do whatever you want.<br>

server/client<br>

It is still the case (for ethernet)<br>

- It had allowed us to have a continuous desktop (+home) for
many years,<br>

our disks every 6<br>
months (not like Ubuntu or some KDE4 apps).<br>

I prefer su <br>

But you are talking of LInux, and don't forget that Mageia is a fork
of Mandriva, and don't forget the initial spirit of Mandriva: if
Mageia has been choosen as a name, it means that il will keep
Mandrake's spirit? no?<br>
