[LUGSB] Pen drive - Getting Mandriva

Now I'm in a dilemma. I have been using Xandros 
2.0 for about two years now, maybe more, with a 
2.4 kernal and I feel I really should upgrade. I
need to run PhotoShop, so maybe I should stick 
with Xandros, because it does come with Crossover
Office.

But there are some things about Xandros I'm not
crazy about, like it's crummy sources.list file.

Anyone familiar with both Xandros and 
Mand(rake/riva) and would care to offer opinions?
