Mandrake is also GUI-only install; and except for some oddness where it
didn't seem to like my PS/2 Intellimouse, it found all my devices
(including USB) fine, etc. Also includes ReiserFS as an install option,
if you're looking for that.
Mandrake also has a GUI update feaure, but - unfortunately - still needs
some work (in v7.2, anyway - it may be better in the new 8.0). It still
sometimes comes up with dependency conflicts, when installing the
updates.
v8.0 is brand new (as in ... released this week), so it's not on store
shelves yet, and all the mirrors are probably swamped with folks
downloading ISOs for a while yet.
