Well, Mandriva was the preferred distribution by novel users  around
the world prior to the Ubuntu "shock". It is easy to install, has lots
of software available using urpmi and yes, there are easy tricks to
install propietary software. Now I'm focused on Debian systems, but I
used it a couple of years and I like it very much, it has a good
Gambas support too. It has some compatibility with RedHat packages
too, sometimes that is useful.
