Yes I mean the usual software and system updates.
FWIW if user can manage it a fresh install is always preferred to trying to upgrade form one operating system version to another. The upgrade from OM Lx 4.0 to 4.1 was not exactly straight forward and is described in detail here for users information.
Also it is worth stating that some of what I’m talking about is related to OpenMandriva being all part time, volunteer organization as opposed to Mandriva which had a company with paid employees behind it. Also OM is a much smaller developer group than Mandriva had. So reality of limited resources is that we can’t do nearly as much to make things as user friendly or especially newbie friendly as we would like to. We are trying though. And it seems that bit by bit we are getting better at this.
