The definitive answer will be found in the kernel source RPM (not the kernel-source RPM, but the kernel .src.rpm). Compare the patches for each distribution and see what the differences are. Install the .src.rpm, and check the spec file as well as the individual patchsets (found on Red Hat in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and /usr/src/redhat/SPECS). Being 100% compatible != having the same kernel patches. As I don't do Mandrake anymore (my having some bad compatibility problems a few cycles back, as well as having a close relationship with Red Hat, as well as maintaining the PostgreSQL RPMset), I can't check the differences myself. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
