hi fans of the draktools,
Well I tried to boot up a DVD written this afternoon of
OpenMandrivaLx_3beta1.x86_64.iso. This strangely enough uses
KDE's Plasma 5 and Wayland rather than X.
From Grub2 it would not complete the boot on my Pavilion.
I fell asleep waiting for it.
From the non-uefi menu it booted but seemed very slow
and unstable putting a lot of stress on my AMD A10 4 core processor.
according to the heat I felt coming thru the vents.
Once it was up it was no champion and while the Plasma 5
is colorful it represents no particular advance. The screen
felt quite unstable.
I may try to get it running on VirtualBox but am in no
hurry to try it again.
More about this later.
But I have to say I feel it is in the same league as
the Mageia-6-dev1-x86_64-DVD.iso. Some distance from a
distribution release.
bliss
