Why not try the new Mandriva 2009.1 Gnome. It isn't bad at all once you get the hang of it. I let Mandriva upgrade me from their server from the 2009.0. I think that this is the Kernel used in the new version. The edition has the webcamera drivers that I need installed for Logitech chat. With Skype I do the following:
# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype and then checking if the sound is set correctly. I did see that it tells me their is an overlapping of Hard Drive Partitions on the HD that Mandriva is installed on. This I never had with the 2009.0 This doesn't stop me from giving Write Read to all Hard Disk Partitions.
