AND ... if you don't have a subscription, try to get the Mandriva Corporate base or update SRPMS, let alone the RPMS.
No it is actually the "real" Mandriva version - once you've setup the free repositories (easyurpmi.zarb.org) you have access to all the stuff thats in the boxed-set or club versions, except of course the packages of closed-source stuff (Nvidia, Flash, Java etc.). All the updates are free and the SRPMs are available on all the mirror sites, don't know about the 'Corporate' version though.
