In short, I have found Mandrake to be a little goofy from time to time
and usually right in front of clients. I have found GUI's config's that
either conflict or overwrite one another, etc. Bob Meyer and I usually
go round and round about the Mandrake/RedHat thing but I feel that
RedHat is just more stable. RedHat has never been less than rock solid
stable in my clients use and has so far never let me down. It is not
that I don't like Mandrake, I think it is an ok OS (after all it is
Linux!) but I also think it includes items into there OS without
thorough testing, etc, and that without experience to overcome the
issues that that causes, the ease of use from Mandrake, quickly get
overcome. I have just come to like RedHat, especially 8.0. IMHO
