    I am grabbing Mandriva Free via bittorrent, because Mandriva Free is available on a DVD, while Mandriva One is not. (I had the foresight to invest in a cheap external USB DVD drive before buying my AAO) From all the messages I've been reading about how well Mandriva 2009 works on the AAO, I assume Mandriva One is the version that people have been using, but I'm hoping that Mandriva Free works as well. Anyone know for sure?

    My advise is, if this is your first time using linux or mandriva then you better off with the LiveOne version. The Free version doesn't come with proprietary drivers so it's not a noob friendly, you might struggle a bit if you use the Free version. Just use LiveOne CD and it works out of the box for AAO.
