[expert] Differences between Red Hat and Mandrake 7.1

2000-09-08 Thread Jeff Malka

Having used RedHat for a couple of years, and having recently (about half a year ago) switched to Mandrake, I don't think you can expect much problems running RH RPM's on your machine, or finding RH-specific text books invalid in the Mandrake environment. I haven't experienced any problems. The

The current RHBeta is 6.9.5, and yes it is 2 CDs... but I don't think the 2nd is a "copy" of MDK7.02. There are still many apps that RedHat just doesn't bother with, that Mandrake chooses to install whether you need them, want them, or would rather never see. Pinstripe is still a smaller full
