Dude i tried Mandriva 2009 but except KDE 4.1.2 there is nothing special.Even the partition manager also strange.
Fedora is good......got to learn it.......

Been dissappointed on the Fedora front. Downloaded the DVD but it doesnt show install menus correctly(garbled). Tried the CD but it fails during the Live Mode at autologin It hangs after that.

Debian has this policy of releasing things when it is ready . I have been waiting for lenny to go stable and I has been months. It was SUPPOSED to be released in September 2008.

I find MDV partitioner [installer ] better than Ubuntu. As far as uniqueness none distro has some killer features. The main features lies in the core software like package manager , GUI installer and tools..

It's Jackalope, not Jackpole (Which makes me roll on the floor laughing hard).

lol....according to you then it is better to assemble everything (kernel, apps.......) and make our own distro or even customise arch.
