I should also mention that there are versions of Mandriva 2007 One for the
Gnome fans. The CDs that I handed out are KDE-centric (although you can
download Gnome from the Mandriva repositories after you install it), but you
can download Gnome-centric live CDs by visiting the Mandriva ftp/http
mirrors.

Here's one such link:
http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/mandrake/official/iso/2007.0/One/

More ftp/http mirrors at:
http://www.mandriva.com/en/download/mandrivaone

Just scroll down the page, past the bittorrent links, to see the full list of
mirrors.
