Openmandriva automatically downloads the dependencies and GCC packages, which is common with rpm based distros, BUT the thing I really like about OpenMandriva, It was the only distro to download the CORRECT dependencies and include compatible 32bit packages from the software manager. Even on the Mageia fork, I had to call the correct packages and dependencies through the terminal just to make hardware acceleration work properly, that is, after forcing Grub loader to blacklist third party drivers. Though the steps required to get drivers working depends on the hardware being used, I find OpenMandriva the best balance of ease of use and advanced user customization (followed by Fedora)</span></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr class=""><td style="font-size: 11px;
