Mandriva Linux 2010 Review and Commentary - Linux Critic

What is the defining characteristic of Mandriva that sets it apart from Ubuntu and Fedora?

(As an aside, I think one of the worst things to happen to Mandrake/Mandriva was the awful naming choice.)

The naming came from Mandrake's purchase of Connectiva which happened a number of years ago, I agree. Bad name choice. this is a great distro though.
