It is out and yes it has Mandriva on it.  The review is not wonderful 
..........Compared with SUSE 9.3 it looks old already ...........  
Despite the new name this is still Mandrake.    But using older versions 
and an uncertain future, take some of the shine off it.

Kernel 2.6.10
KDE 3.3.2
Gnome 2.8.1                       Firefox 1.0.1
Glibc 2.3                             Gimp 2.2
GCC 3.4.3                           MySQL 4.1.9 
OpenOffice 1.1.4                 PostgreSQL 8.0

The final comment was Difficult to tell whether LE marks the end of the 
beginning or the beginning of the end.

If you want to try it you are welcome to borrow my DVD.
