No, that's not a typo -- Mandriva 2010.3 from MIB. Read about it here:

http://mib.pianetalinux.org/blog/news/mib-news/1206-mib-mandriva-20103-repositories

Given that support for 2010.2 runs out in a month and a half, this is good
news.

Well I doubt support will last much longer for 2010.3 but
I did my best to get it installed and it will take a while unless you
have a faster connection. Also better to do it on a slow day because
you will want to interact with some of the stuff.
777 packages offered but 34 remain due to 5 bad packages
apparently.
Lost some of my windows decorations used since 2006 but
slowly getting the new kinks out.

KDE - Be Free! Platform Version 4.8.3 is operating this morning.

But I guess I have to go back to Planetalinux and work
on it some more to get the later kernel, et al.

Beware KMail 4.8.2 (and 4.8.3)!
It generally works well, BUT its Find Messages is BROKEN - unusable...

So I'm staying with KDE 4.5.2 on Mandriva 2010.2 (hoping that KMail 4.9
(expected August) will have the fix).
(I hear it fixes Composer's email address auto-completion - also
broken in 4.8.2)

Well I use Thunderbird and I didn't get an
update so am still at 10.0.4. Suddenly my urls are bringing
up Opera rather than going to Firefox which I do not like at
all.

Good luck with that.

Not such good news as I had hoped for.
After several days of attempting to get all
the updates I ended up with a broken install which
required most of this morning to repair to 2010.2.
Excuse me I have to re-install Kate.
