What would be nice is that Mandrake shipped a full -aa kernel, instead of just taking the vm part (as I understand from changelogs). This way you get XFS, UML, Tux, for free and many performance candy designed for big (entreprise, smp) boxes that does not hurt at all on workstations. That would be an 'advantage' over RedHat, that ships -ac kernels (heavily patched, of course). You can take a look at performance comparisons at http://home.earthlink.net/~rwhron/kernel/bigbox.html -- J.A.
