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).

I read somewhere about the amount of software that Mandriva has in its repositories and was impressed. I downloaded and tried the last beta copy.
They weren't kidding about the software. Besides the typical software, they had dynamips and dynagui and some other lesser used programs.
My only issue had to do with SageTV. For some reason, when I ran the SageTV client, the picture was jerky. I went back to Debian and it worked fine.
Something must be up with the laptop (HP nc8000) and the x-driver. Mandriva isn't the only one with issues about it.
Still, I might give it another try when the software is finally released.
