We tried Mandrake once, a couple of years ago.  Their "we will hold
your hand every step of the way" was great, except where it conflicted
with our established practises and what we actually wanted to do.  It's
probably a great desktop solution but sucks as a server solution unless
you are prepared to change everything you do to match what Mandrake thinks 
you should do.  It caused us nothing but pain (much like Solaris).

They are?  I hadn't seen that (but there are more important things to
read about in my spare time).

Find a better distro.  RH 9 destroyed a lot of RH's credibility for me.

Are you sure about that?   This stuff works on most non-proprietary
flavours of *nix without problems.  Solaris and HP-UX seem to have
some problems (I hate Solaris with a passion) but the free flavours
seem to be OK.
