Hoping for comments and suggestions..

Really, as always, a nice review

I cant help notice Mandriva's step motherly treatment towards LP though :???:

.....

Its not Mandriva either its Phonon or the beta version of Amarok,, tracks work fine with SMplayer so it must be Amarok..

Yeah, You mentioned it in the review too, I was just kidding here

I found 2008.1 severely bloated.

[on friend's PC with 1gig RAM, 965 chipset]
Is this better?

^^bloated ?

Except for the start-up time (about 90 secs), 2008.1 worked smoothly on a machine with 845 chipset, 1 gig ram last I installed it.
