Mandriva 2010 Spring was released July 8, 2010. It comes with kernel 2.6.33 (2.6.33.5-desktop586-2mnb), KDE 4.4.3 and Firefox 3.6.6. It actually comes with tons of applications. Its a pretty good distribution, I particular like the functionality where it removes any unnecessary packages during the installation. I haven't seen this in Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, PCLinuxOS, Mint, OpenSUSE nor CentOS. What follows is a series of screen captures installing this distribution. Figure 1. Boot menu Figure 2.
