I am a Dreamlinux and Arch user, but have to say that after distrotesting Mandriva, I am very impressed. This release, in my opinion, puts Ubuntu to shame. I will most definitely be recommending Mandriva for new linux users. It is intuitive , both install and setup, and leaves a feeling of stabiltiy and robustness. Here is my distro test on LxH:

2008 and 2008 Spring were more stable, Mandriva 2009 has a lot of glitches, certain video types don’t play, some programs like Kaffeine have no icons just a question mark, they replaced good programs with bad ones. The package list is not as complete as previous versions.
Many fundamental mistakes that become very annoying for the regular user.
Looks just wont do it for me.
I personally was expecting more, looks like they hurried up too much and came out with some full-of-bugs distro.
Hi Nirepsa,
Those bugs are KDE bugs, not Mandriva bugs.
Please upgrade your 2009, KDE has been updated and it’s now KDE 4.1.3 with a lot of improvements.
