Update: Added four screenshots. Update 2: Mandrake Linux 9.1 is out, read the PR, get it from mirrors, buy it or join the Club, from links found here.

Yeah NTFS resizing is a biggie, I used it in one of the betas. DiskDrake is almost unmatched. You can just move windows over to create some free space, click Auto allocate, install and it will add windows to the boot loader. Mandrake definitely gets my vote for most dual boot friendly. In Red Hat 8.0 I still had to tell the installer to use / for root. Not much of a big deal now, but I remember not knowing what to type there the first time I installed RH 6.1.
