I'm thinking of switching to Mandrake from RedHat 9 since RedHat is effectively discontinuing the full-fledged "hobbyist" version of RedHat and splitting the userbase between "Fedora" for those of us who don't have several hundred dollars for "enterprise" linux and those who have the money and need for "Enterprise" linux.
My question is, how well would the switch go? I typically keep my home directory on it's own partition and another partition with some MP3s and other miscellaneous data. I typically blow everything else away and reformat. One thing I liked about RedHat was that when I did this, it would recognize how my system was partitioned and offer to re-use the old partitions. Will Mandrake do this for me? I'm on RedHat 9.0 right now with ext3 file systems throughout. I have used Mandrake before, but the last time I think I used it was back around Mandrake 5 or 6, before they made it so difficult to get ISOs of the distro. I basically liked it then, but there were a few "advanced" features I wasn't so thrilled with, but I'm looking at giving it another shot. Thanks... John
