Hello,
I have been listening to this list for a while to decide if and when
to switch to Mandrake, so this is a question about different features
in Mandrake vs. Red Hat.
PLEASE let's not start yet another flaming/religious war: both
distros are excellent, they just target different users if what
follows is true. Now the questions.
I just read on the Mandrake site the Distributions comparison
extract from the german journal PC Magazin. Something I didn't
expect to see is:
........Instead of supplying lots of server software
(i.e. like Red Hat)
Mandrake, concentrates on the single user's computer....
What does this mean? I always thought that Mandrake had
EVERYTHING is in Red Hat PLUS KDE, GIMP, SANE, etc.etc.,
or at least his is the impression I got from the WWW site.
Am I wrong?
Can MANDRAKE be (custom) installed with all the "lots of server
software"
from its own single CD, or does one have to fetch them from RH CDs
or ftp site?
In general, is there a list of what Red Hat has and Mandrake hasn't?
(out of the box, obviously)
Again, this is not about which distro is best: it is only important to
know which one is faster to install/configure as a workstation or a
server.
Ciao,
Marco
