The OpenMandriva project is an interesting one: taking a fork of Mandriva
known as ROSA and integrating it back in as a Mandriva distro, it includes a
lot of the original tools from Mandriva in the process. The first release –
OpenMandriva 2013.0 – was released last year to little fanfare, however
there’s a bit more interest in the 2014.0 version of the distro out in April.

of Mandrake

As part of the development cycle, it’s finally left alpha and 2014.0 beta is
now here. If you had been using the Alpha some of the important updates
include fixing LibreOffice, upgrading the kernel and updating to the latest
version of KDE among other things[3].

The project is slightly reminiscent of Mageia, hoping to capture the spirit
of Mandrake before the recent mergers and more business focused nature of the
original distro. You can test out the beta by grabbing the ISO from the
OpenMandriva website[3].
