I'd have to say that I love Mandrake 9.1. I found 9.0 to be very buggy, but they seem to have worked most of the problems out in 9.1. My Hauppage WinTV Go card was recognized and configured by the installed. Unlike with previous versions of Mandrake I didn't have any problems getting the card to work. I was able to go straight into Zapping and setup the channels and watch. I haven't tested the cards capture capabilities yet, as I've never been able to get that to work properly in the past. It also had no problem configuring my soundblaster card and lilo. Maybe your just having some bad luck :-). I really like the fact that they finally have a working Gnome installation, and I love the fact that Mandrake Galaxy makes my QT and GTK apps look consistent. The only gripe that I have so far is that I cannot get the sub-menu to allow me to select copy, move, or link when dragging and dropping files in Nautilus or Konqueror. I also don't like the fact that KDE defaults to double click to open files and folders, but that's easy to change.
