I have already installed it and also helped spread the news:

I must say, my first impression is very positive, KDE 4.3.2 is starting to be good enough to be a valid substitute for KDE 3.5 and Pulseaudio seems to work without problems so far (unlike in every other distro I tried so far).

Well on the whole I found the install a pleasing experience and the distribution a good one. However I have come across what seems to be a broken hal-daemon. It fails to mount the cdrom's. Whilst it identifies that a cd/dvd has been inserted the only option given is to copy with k3b. I am unable to mount either of my dvd writers no matter what I try. I have had a good look on the Mandriva website and found a good few posts about the problem but mainly about usb devices. There is no entries in the logs either, so I am a bit stuck with this one. I'll keep trying though.

Should be a HAL issue, since we had some of the same in ArchLinux.

I guess nobody really cares about HAL issues/bugs, since it will be soon deprecated - it already has in *buntu 9.10, where it's replaced by DeviceKit. The latter ain't perfect, but surely enough is better documented and slightly easier to write rules for it.
