Community builds of Mandriva Linux

Officially, Mandriva Linux is available for free download only in the editions of Free, One KDE4 and One Gnome. But there are also a number of builds that are “unofficial” and made by various Mandriva Linux communities. Let's look at what builds distribution lovers can still try. I must say right away that unofficial assemblies may have more errors than official assemblies, but this is leveled out by the capabilities obtained.
