I am using parts of it as well, with a custom compiled XFCE 4.2 desktop. So far it's mostly working fine but I haven't tried installing KDE or GNOME. Drakconf acts a bit weird at times but it seems like they are reworking the gui or something.

If you install any development version of Mandrake, you have to use cooker urpmi sources. The only thing is that you have to update them frequently because the packages change very rapidly due to on going development and bug fixing.

That's great in some cases like myself am a Cutting Edge (Bleeding Edge) Up To Date Latest Freak but if I encounter any probs then I'll go back to Official, are there any updates for official

To get any updates for official, you use the rpmdrake updates utility, or configure one for use with urpmi.
