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).

they are doing better than many think. Many see mostly the community on the web, and more specifically the english-speaking part of that. Mandriva is big in Brazil, and not doing bad in France either. And yes, they are working on some pretty cool stuff, like the whole Nepomuk thing. They might bounce back big, when KDE 4 is out... Esp now Ubuntu won't have it anytime soon.
