Admitted that it's a bit cacophonous... but putting apt/synaptic into Mandrake instead of urpmi is a step to the right direction (PCLInuxOS is doing that since many months ago), and the one year product cycle instead of six months will also help for fewer bugs.
Mandrake never was a bleeding edge distro, all that counts is package quality and ease of use- and now IMHO they are closer to the target.
Of course it will not substitute Arch Linux as my main distro, but it will surely help to fight against the new competition -which is mainly (K)Ubuntu, AKA Debian for dummies- and a GOOD one.
