Why such an old release? There's been a LOT of progress in Mandriva, and
manual hardware configuration is largely a thing of the past.

Different codec. I have never gotten Totem or Kaffeine to work consistently
with more than one or two file types. Mplayer and VLC, on the other hand,
usually just work.

Adobe flash player is availble as a pluggin for current releases.
Running Mandriva 2007.1 (Spring), I get mostly satisfactory performance from
any media type I encounter. I use konqueror (the KDE file/web browser) by
default, and occasionally find a javascript-heavy page that doesn't work, or
an animated graphic (weather radar) that bogs it down badly; for those I use
mozilla-firefox.
I use the kmail component of korganizer and am pretty happy with it, I much
prefer it to mozilla-thunderbird, which is the current version of the
mosaic/netscape/mozilla mail client.
