Mandriva Israel is very supportive!

As a Newbie I saw that it was geared up for Right to Left typing for עברית. After reading up that Gnome appears easier to use I chose Mandriva. 

I contacted by mail www.mandriva.co.il and requested their free Mandriva 2008.One Spring disk. After installation I found that I couldn't connect to the Internet. With Win XP I could and therefore sent them an e-mail requesting assistance. 

What happened next was that I got a phone call and a personal visit from רועי who is the Managing Director. He at his insistence visited my home bringing with him his own Router. On his advice I went to Bezeq and changed the Router for another. They gave me a Siemens SL2 - 141 which with ease I managed to set up, set the settings and do any Port forwarding. 

I have never experienced such wonderful service like this before whereby a Managing Director actually took the time and bother to actually visit, listen and advise. כל הכבוד לרועי!
