Mandrake 8.2 Beta 2
Anyone given this a whirl?? I've downloaded the .iso files and am going to try an upgrade. Apparently a great deal of good, new technology in there.

I got both of the CDs from the UK mirror site in about 2 hours or so. Just use Nero or whatever to burn the ISOs to CDs.
I am going to give this a try, and will post back anything I find out.
