Should been..Wow.

Ya know, I think I saw Ima try that move where you play the guitar with a broom. Or maybe it was a vacuum cleaner. Can't really remember, but I don't think it won over a girl though. Ah well. haha

During install i had sevlrael problems, just to be able to install my home and other storage partition encrypted.Severall times i got cryptsetup failed', and after a while plaing/creating partitions (diskdrake part) it prompted some like: You need to reboot to be able to apply changes and this in partitioning stage without installing the system, this should NEVER happen.Also i saw that there were sevlrael infos missing, in Advanced mode there wasnt even the Size info, i really dont get why there were sevlrael infos removed, specially the size info in advanced mode.In resume, i wasnt able to install 2011 with encrypted partitions like happened to another Qt main developer that was forced to move to another distro (and here ill avoid saying names) since he was not able to install root partition encrypted.I was only able to install 2011 after speaking with Per Oyvind in wich he suggested me to just install just with the root partition and create restant encrypted partitions (including home) after install.So i made like he suggested and now finally i was able to install 2011, and was able to create home and storage encrypted partitions after booting, and again with sevlrael difficulties since appeared sevlrael times cryptsetup failed'. I was forced to exit diskdrake and run partprobe' (as suggested by Per) and then enter diskdrake again, but in the end i was able to get the encrypted partitions.This shows that some isnt being done correctly in draktools, or some tests are being avoided, maybe its time to run tests to see how draktools go (mainly for diskdrake), so that next release will not have these severe problems that cause people to search other distros.Also theres NO rescue system, and the user isnt able to select the packages to install as used to happen in previous Mandriva releases. During install the user doesnt also have the option to see the packages installation.This shows the previous install did had sevlrael features that are a MUST and should be included.This of course its only my point of view and everyone can disagree but i just hope this things can be avoided in future.
