Yes, that is my hope also.  ;)

I would not bother trying that on a old laptop, either!

Have you ever looked at Mageia?  I have never tried it but it is supposed
to be a fork of Mandriva, forked about the same time as OM when Mandriva
stopped supporting an open source version.

I was sorry to see Mandrake go.  It was one of the first distros I tried.
The installer was slick and appeared to work perfectly with my video card.
However, the installer failed to set the actual OS up like it did during
the installer video tests and left the system unusable.  :(  I had hoped
one day maybe to try it again on more modern hardware but it morphed into
Mandriva shortly thereafter.
