It's been a while since I used Mandriva, the last version I used was 2007 and I was impressed with it. I still prefer Debian based distros because I'm very comfortable with apt and the system layout but Mandriva was easy to use and detected and configured hardware very well.
Linux is certainly progressing, I should probably take another look at pure Debian soon, probably check out latest testing.

Would you say that unstable/sid is ok for desktop use? Last time I used it was a long time ago and it changed a bit too fast for it to be really useful to me. I like having very new software but don't like having Xorg updated every day.
