Mandrake has been one of my favorite distros for almost 10 years. Recently I built up a new system for my father so he is running it too.
I bought a new Compaq F759WM laptop, promptly removed Vista by downgrading to XP pro, then installed Madriva 2008.1 for a dual boot. Everything works perfectly (though I had to blacklist the SSB and BCM43xx modules and use ndiswrapper to get the wireless working).
I second the motion to refrain from adopting KDE4 yet.
