OpenMandriva Lx (often shortened as OMA) is a French based GNU/Linux distribution developed by the community as continuation to world class operating system called Mandriva. The developer team claimed that OpenMandriva is unique and independent, that is, it’s the first distro built using LLVM (Clang) technology instead of GNU GCC and it isn’t based upon any other existing distribution. It has two main choices, Rock, the stable edition for users who prefer their computing not changed too quickly, and ROME, the rolling release edition for users who like their software always latest everyday.
