The second beta of Mandriva Linux 2008, codenamed Galilee, is now available. The release notes are available here. A guide to major new features (some of which are not yet implemented in this beta) is available here, and the detailed technical specifications are available here. This beta 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. Future betas will be available in One live/install CD hybrid editions with proprietary drivers.

Ehm... Are you sure about this? This is what I see in the Page Hit Ranking table for default setting, 6 months:
Rang Distribution H.P.D*
1 Ubuntu 2620<
2 PCLinuxOS 2464>
3 openSUSE 1476<
4 Fedora 1331<
5 Sabayon 1160>
6 Debian 1026<
7 Mint 986<
8 MEPIS 943<
9 Mandriva 780>
It looks almost the same for the other time ranges. I can remember times when it was on #2. Now Mandriva gGoing down constantly :-(

In case you have not noticed, Mandriva(Texstar Edition) is #2 on the
Distrowatch hit list and about to supplant Ubuntu in another week or two.
So yes, it is still very relevant.
