"One new aspect with Mandriva is that the build tool mkcd has
been replaced with bcd. In addition, developers promise strongly
shortened boot up times for the new display. A Moblin packet which
can support feeble hardware and more is available as an
option."
"Plymouth optically enhances the boot process with the help of
graphic animation. Splashy comes into use for unsupported chip
sets. Mandriva's security framework is based on Tomoyo, which will
have the capability of being set up via GUI in the future."
