Bueno, les dejo un pequeño comentario sobre un usuario Linux que nos detalla algunas de las cosas más interesantes que contrastan los pormenores de usar Ubuntu y/o Mandriva. Espero sea de utilidad y nos ayude a seleccionar el SO que más nos convenga.

I have used both of them for quite a long time and I think I can do a better and unbiased comparison... This is not a review so don't expect too much.. Just a small wrap up for people out there looking for newbie desktop... and a report to Mandriva community..
1. Hardware Support : Mandriva wins hands down.. It has lots of drivers and utils to fix it up.. Ubuntu has no proprietary drivers out of the box nor has better support in the repos..
Ubuntu has printer support out of the box [ootb] while Mandriva requires a lot of package installation in One edition... Ubuntu lacks intutive GUI tools like Mandriva..
If you messed up installing Graphics drivers and has Xorg.conf error.. Ubuntu has an automated Xorg default restoring utility that launches in case of error.. No similar thing in Mandriva .. Even drak3d didn't work..
After usage and in hardware fixing Ubuntu wins...
2. Software .. Mandriva has lots of tools and media plugins which Ubuntu doesn't have.. But Ubuntu has made some shrewed choice of Software .. Like providing full printer database ootb give a you ease of printer use...
Installing software .. Mandirva packagers did a lot to cope up with Ubuntu and has nearly same amount of package as Ubuntu or even have latest than Ubuntu... But as Ubuntu is the #1 distro all the leading Linux software providers provide package for Ubuntu with new relase.. You might have top wait for Mandriva..
Ubuntu and Mandriva has immaculate software collection surpassing both openSUSE and Fedora..
3. Community support.. Ubuntu no doubt has the biggest community support till date.. Any problem and you fill have your solution already discussed in Ubuntuforums.. On the other hand Mandirva has small yet powerful forum..
4. Multimedia and HD playback. : Both has better and quivalent video and HD playback. .Mandriva has ootb support for HD formats.. You might not found official packages for Mandriva in quite a few media player like XBMC and others..
5. Compiz and 3d accelaration.. I don't know why but Compiz has faster response in Ubuntu.. Even AWN works better and zipper in Ubuntu.. I am using the same driver in Ubuntu...
If you don't have supported graphics adapter Ubuntu will not allow you to enable 3d effect and will ask you to install restricted drivers .. There is no such thing in Mandirva , or you can messed up system while enabling 3d Desktop if you don't have supported hardware.. After that you have to use command like drak3d to fix it up..
6. Repositories and Upgrading : Mandirva has limited repos. .. Few additional repositories like easyUprmi and MIB are worth using.. Limited repos are worth it . .updating and remembering them is easy.. Mandriva packagers do update latest software in the current/future repos... Thats the best thing I like ..
While in Ubuntu there are lots of repos. [PPA] ... Ubuntu guys don't updates software [only core s/w and fixes] in the current or older relase.. Ubuntu hardy still doesn't have Banshee 1 in the repositories.. Ubuntu guys update future repos rather than syncing older one..
I am using Intrepid Ibex and has no updates from GIMP, Pidgin and OpenOffice.. Though I have installed latest OOO but still having older software in system might create some problem.. While this in not the case with Mandirva...
Ubuntu has got some serious kernel regression while Mandriva has never faced this issue Smile
Updating/Adding a newly released desktop environment in Ubuntu is childs play. Grab the repo update and install.. While setting up cooker is a tough job...
7. Ubuntu has better notification than Mandirva. After update it suggest you to restart application if needed [like firefox] or restart system.. While Mandriva only suggest restarting system... Ubuntu pop ups appears at icon [like update icon] .. Mandriva pop up appear on top left side though the icons are located in different pos...
8. Mandriva mount all kind of drives/partitions by default while you have to edit fstab in Ubuntu..
9. Look and Feel : Mandirva has always be the best looking desktop out there.. Whether its font selection or theme Mandriva beat Ubuntu in this segment ..
Both of the distro has their own problems but Ubuntu obviously has an upper hand over Mandriva. But Mandriva isn't that far.. If you want a solid KDE experience than Mandriva is the choice. Ubuntu has its own stronghold..ease of package availabilty and upgrading options make Ubuntu an ideal choice.. Mandriva current release has more problems which might get fixed in 2009.1 .. So hoping better Mandriva release next time.. Till them I am Buntu Razz

Ahora, uniéndome a la grilla que hace algúnas semanas comenzó, pienso que sería conveniente probar Ubuntu en la apocomputadora de lab. Creo que se podrían resolver algunos problemillas con varios programas y que además existe una red de soporte vía foros en línea más abundante para Ubuntu, aunque a fin de cuentas también puedan servir para Mandriva. Yo espero sus comentarios pues con esto seguro enriqueceremos la plática y serán aclarados algunos puntos.
Pd.: Espero pronto terminar mis secuencias porque mandriva me juega malas pasadas con Seaview, pero no me voy nomás por el monitor a gran escala que tiene la PC.
Saludillos!
