The first release candidate of Mandriva Linux 2008, codenamed Copernic, is now available. The release notes are available here. A guide to major new features (some of which are not yet implemented in this release candidate) is available here, and the detailed technical specifications are available here. This release candidate is available as a three CD or one DVD Free edition (containing no non-free software or drivers) for the x86-32 and x86-64 architectures, with a traditional installer, and as a mini-CD edition for both x86-32 and x86-64 architectures. A One combined live/install CD edition will be released in the near future (problems with unionfs prevented the One edition from being release at the same time as the other editions).

I was running Cooker some weeks ago and it was looking pretty good. I still think Mandriva offers the best KDE desktop among the big distros.
By the way, they were using the CFS scheduler backported to kernel 2.6.22. I'm not sure if they've decided to stick with it, but probably yes, since it seemed to work very good.
Happy testing
