I'm using a combination of 7.1 and 7.0..   

The only issues I've had with RH are sodding RPM dependencies, but I get
around those by using source..

Never had a problem on 7.1 compiling things, but 7.0 did have some issues
with it's libc and db3-devel libraries that made some stuff crap out...

Having said all of that, I mainly use linux as a server/appliance OS rather
than a desktop.  I've only got one machine with KDE on it, and it's just the
stock build from RH 7.1 and it all works fine for what I want it to do so
I've not bothered to D/L the new KDE and do the compile game..

Upgrade to Mandrake?  Isn't any change of distro just a sidestep?

Cheers,  Chris Hellyar.
