too slow is a longish story. but you can solve the lacks packages and drivers problem by configuring remote packages sources.
Mandrake CDs don't cover all the packages available to mandrake, not to mention that there is a large repository of community provided packages called contrib.
as for proprietary drivers, you can get them from the PLF package repository.
total size of Mandrake with the three repos is around 13GB, only debian is larger.
Ubuntu has become one of the top players now (if not THE top player). You may want to give it a try. It's kinda lighter than Mandriva by default. Never tried it myself, but I know it's good and newbie-friendly.
