其實取 Canonical 官方的光碟並不會比自行燒錄罪惡。

廠方大量壓制光碟的效率，以及生產過程中的浪費其實都比較自行燒錄的少。要是說郵寄也是浪費的，請想想用外國製的空白光碟一樣有運送的過程。

p.s. 也許有時不升級是最不浪費的方法……

升級不是有update-manager嗎？

字體嘛.....我裝M$的正黑體(好吧....我有被某人吐糟的覺悟)
中文自由字體的確是目前最弱一環，沒有一個字體堪稱可用(參見我以往一篇關於Slackware中文化的文章）
其實就是正黑體也有很多缺字.....

至於suspend to RAM.....這個功能我用不上....所以還是選了openSUSE 10.3

不過只要你覺得好、用得舒服的話，去用就好了。自由軟體教會我們尊重別人、求同存異。反正這不是統戰，實在沒有必要去到「我的最好，你的最差勁」這種心態

中文字體方面我覺得 Mandriva 很用心，至少都不用任何調校，預設字體表現就很漂亮了，使用的是 AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni，但碰到一些日文會無法顯示，我都改用 OpenDesktop 新字型。

suspend to RAM 於 Mandriva 2008.0 也是不用任何設定，
KPowersave 就可正常運作。

個人不是在吐嘈，而是讓大家有個比較而已。

It looks like the first big distro battle of the release season -- the one between openSUSE 10.3 and Mandriva Linux 2008 -- has been won by Mandriva. This conclusion comes from early reviews of the two products, as well as our DistroWatch Weekly forums, which have witnessed an unusual number of positive comments from users who installed the latest Mandriva, while at the same time a number of others commented about the bugs found in openSUSE 10.3. Further adding to the impression that Mandriva has done a better job with version 2008 was Susan Linton's Battle of the Titans comparative review between Mandriva Linux 2008 and openSUSE 10.3: "Winner: Mandriva 2008. In our little just-for-fun comparison, we, the judges, find that Mandriva wins by 4 categories to 2." What do our readers think? Let us know.
