The compatibility means Mandrake uses the same basic file structure so
that if you install an RPM compiled for RedHat than it should also work
fine on Mandrake.
It does not mean that Mandrake uses the same packages. If you compare
Mandrake's packages to RedHat's, you'll notice that Mandrake 1) has many
more packages than RedHat and 2) has newer versions of many of the
packages they both have.
