Just talk to people using Redhat and you'll be surprised as to how many
features they still have to configure on their box. Mandrake is not only
Redhat + KDE. It's overall a better distribution in all aspects and we have
to give the Mandrake team credit for that. Redhats RPM packaging just
provides the packaging of the software (It sounds redundant I know). If
Mandrake was just a mirror image of Redhat then why make us wait for
Mandrake 6. They could have ridden the bandwagon which Redhat unfortunately
seems to have done and released it. Redhat 6 is using many early releases
while Mandrake 6 I expect would put in the more stable versions.
