I used Mandrake and Mandriva for years ... first up to 10 I think :)
Then I couldn't  install it till mandriva "one"
my pc was too old... And I don't like their politic but as we can get 
soft in cooker or with easyurpmi there is no problem :)
I tried mainy distros around different flavors and all quiete good
I stick to kubuntu because it has all in one :)
And hardy with kde4 is really a pleasure...
I didn't even install kde3 neither qt3 as I start with qt4...
