Hi!
 
Well, I accidently erased my extented patrition and wiped my debian install, so I downloaded Mandrake 9.0 (Dolphin) and DAMN, I am impressed.
 
kde 3.0.3, koffice 1.2 final, openoffice 1.1, mozilla 1.1, gnome 2, evolution 1.0.8, kernel 2.4.19 with ext2/3 acl, crypto and lpp patches, gcc3.2, X 4.2.1 and many other nifty features. I even installed MPlayer from rh7.3 rpms and it worked (after I added libpng 1.0.14 witch was not included).
 
The most cool stuff is the ability to boot text in 1024x768 frame-buffer mode and hardware detection. X actually detected that my ATI card had TVOut and included an option in Lilo to boot into TV mode.
 
Now I know all of this can be done in Debian (witch I did, until it got wiped out) or any other distro for that matter, but it still so cool to get it without any hassle or tweaking and I am a very lazy person :)
 
Just had to share my experience with ya all.
 
P.S I havn't noticed any bugs whatsoever. Kewl.
