I had tried Mandrake years ago, and the first version I tried was able to automatically detect my video hardware and was able to perfectly set up the video settings for me as well, but then the next version failed to do so, and the UI didn't work out of the box like it did with the previous version.  I haven't used Mandrake since then..  I had seen a few Linux distros like that too, not just Mandrake.  However, it seems that Linux distros are better overall these days.
