Mandrake was by far easier to install. > RedHat 8.0 looks nicer at first glance than Mandrake 9.0 and a lot of people find it better for that reason, but IMO, mandrake is far easier to configure than Redhat for a desktop user. 8.0 was a nice first try, but RH still has work to do. -- Greg I believe that is precisely why PC Magazine recently gave the Editor's Choice Award to Mandrake over Red Hat. In doing a little research, Mandrake will also run the GUI in 64 MB of RAM where the latest version of Red Hat needs 128 MB. That's a concern if you are setting up an older machine for learning or testing. My Pentium 200 MMX runs Mandrake 9.0 just fine, although slow while in the GUI. People have commented how fast my Apache server is, though! When I use SSH to get to a remote command line, I don't believe you could ever tell it was only a P-200 (for common tasks, anyway). I'm happy. :-) Regards, Marlo Montanaro CNE Registered Linux User 303184 "There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't."
