As I understand the situation, Mandrake has its roots in RedHat, but is in
no way affiliated with or has anything to do with RedHat, at least since
v6.0. Because Mandrake has its roots in RedHat, there are some inevitable
similarities, but that is as far as it goes. If Mandrake was simply an
enhanced copy of RedHat, then the Mandrake team would not be free to build
the superb OS we have come to admire so.
