Er, not really. The RPM standard is GPL and many distributions use it
for packaging. When Mandrake got its start it was basically RH compiled
for i586 with KDE installed, but things have changed since 1998 or so.
msec, urpmi, the Drak tools, different handling of internationalization,
it's not RH

No,
That used to be the case..
nowdays mandrake rolls its own RPM's and has for some time now...
I imagine this is good news for mandrake as there will be a ton of
redhat
I hope so.

Man, nobody reads my mind properly... I guess the AFDB is working :-)
Yup, it's LSB. standard
This must be due to Mandrake's signing on to the LSB? Or is that
something different?
yup

Well, I didn't mean I had any problems compiling anything on mdk.
I just say cookers must keep this good thing!!! :-)
Maybe I'm not exactly correct, but there should be a binary compatibility as
well.

Maybe I'm not exactly correct, but
The difference in libs between RH7.3 (MDK 8.2 time) and now are so great
as to make a number of older compiled binaries choke. The biggest
difference is that RH7.3(MDK8.2) is compiled with gcc2.9x and now it's
gcc3.x The incompatibility is there. Remember that the distro's aren't
Linux, but
The sequel to RH 9 is Fedora, next issue is ???. Still free.
