Mandriva's new orphaning feature is really borked at the moment. It wants to uninstall your whole DE eventually since all it's packages got marked as orphaned when they are not. Of course, easily ignorable, just don't delete any orphaned packages in mandriva 2009 yet.
On the contrary i find installing mandriva very easy. Most people just do the automatic install where mandriva partitions the hd for itself. Or install using existing partitions. Both options are a lot quicker than what ubuntu offers for installing the system in as few steps as possible. The one thing i really wish mandriva would do is redesign the diskdrak UI. It's usable, however i find it badly presented with too much compactness and not organized neatly enough.
