This is my first time trying Mandriva (2009.0 ONE cd - GNOME) apart from an old Madrake version a few years back and let me say.. WOW!!
Very fast, closed source bits installed by default, everything works right off the bat, fonts work perfect, and while I haven't played around much yet, there are little things I noticed that other distros don't do by default:
on my amd64 machine, it installed the cpufreq applet in the upper gnome toolbar and it may have used AC power/non-battery detection to set the scaling_governor to "performance" by default (which I prefer) since my system is a desktop -- all other distros just blindly set it to ondemand.
