“The usual lifecycle for Mandriva desktop system is one year for
most userland software such as KDE or Firefox and an addition six
months for base systems such as the kernel or Apache. Mandriva 2010
was released November 3, 2009 and reached its end of life May 3,
2011. The following incremental updates, 2010.1 and 2010.2, were
released July 8 and December 23 respectively. Both have reached the
end of their desktop support and have only six months of base
support remaining, ending January 8, 2012. Most enterprise class
systems enjoy five years of support.”
