Things to commend are the quick install, ext3 filesystem and kautorun (from kdenonbeta, hacked by redmond to make it work).
However, after a few hours playing, I decided I didn't like it much. A lot of KDE 2.2.2 is missing and what is there is hard to find. For instance I didn't expect kiconedit to be on the Development menu. KDE has an excellent menu structure, but all the distros mess with it. Redmond messes with the icons too, but their icon artist is little better than Mandrake's. Just my £0.02. -- Peter Ruskin, Wrexham, Wales.
