My vote is for pclinuxos. It's derived from Mandrake, but (unlike many
versions of Mandrake) everything works pretty much as promised. It comes on
a livecd with a script for installing it to your hard drive. Once you
install it, you use apt or synaptic to keep it updated. I've kept my system
pretty current for over a year.

www.pclinuxonline.com has a link to the distro download. Support is through
forums on that site. The distro is non-commercial, and is run and maintained
by one very dedicated individual.

Good Luck.
