Having used RedHat for a couple of years, and having recently (about half a year ago) switched to Mandrake, I don't think you can expect much problems running RH RPM's on your machine, or finding RH-specific text books invalid in the Mandrake environment. I haven't experienced any problems. The main difference is that Mandrake supply some additional services, such as the *drake programs partially replacing linuxconf/file editing, postfix option instead of sendmail, grub option instead of lilo, available security levels. (All this refers mostly to Mandrake 7.1, btw.) So: read you Red Hat books, and poke around in the file system, examine whatever interesting things you find there. Don't worry much about breaking something with Red Hat operations.
