I like Mandrake for being smooth, and up-to-date.  
I *hate* Mandrake for being RPM-based: after a certain point,
you fall so far behind, even when applying updates, that you
have to upgrade to the latest version of the product.  And let
me tell you: upgrading Mandrake is a Perilous Journey.

"apt-get upgrade" is the *absolute* best...
