8.2 worked OK for me, but still a few minor glitches with the wireless stuff that would have scared a newbie.
I have a feeling that 8.3/9.0 is going to be the breakthrough release for mandrake.
They will no doubt continue refining the installation process, but for the first time, the distro will come with KDE3, Mozilla 1.0, and OpenOffice 1.0 ready to go, out of the box.
If those programs work as advertised, it seems to me that Mdk 8.3/9 will have all of the pieces in place to make a perfect alternative to a windows desktop box.
It will just be a matter of execution on mandrake's part.
