I know it's shallow and easily changed, but the default look of the Mandriva releases leaves a lot to be desired. I was using 2008 on a spare machine I had kicking around for a couple months and everything was just awesome...except the artwork. If they can spruce that up a bit and bring it more in line with the polish the big three have (Ubuntu, Fedora and openSuse), then they have a real winner on their hands.
