Exactly! The same thing happened to me on my last two jobs; and lets see those
were about 15 servers running RH instead of Mandrake. And don't get me wrong, I
*am* a Mandrake nut, but the reality is that Mandrake is not perceived as an
enterprise distro, but a home user oriented one; even by experienced unix
admins.
Didn't you guys used to have the SGI tuned apache that RH didn't have? So what
happened to that relationship?
