I have a dualboot system, Mandrake on the first partition
because the e mail, web and ftp server both work 
out of the box, RedHat does not.

The only use I get from RedHat is that
the compiler seems to work when I want to
install and run wxGTKwindows libraries,
and audacity audio editing software,
everything else in RedHat is broken, 
but on my RedHat it is KDE's Dcopserver
that I cannot seem to fix, I can't even log
into kde session, I have to use gnome, can't
even run any kde apps! Bugger. (scuse my french)

I can't get Mandrake's compiler to compile anything,
whether I stick with the install default or upgrade to
gcc3, but, I'm sticking with Mandrake because the
web, ftp, and e mail servers all work great straight
from the box. I will just boot into RedHat to use
my audio editor, but that is all,
so we share similar sentiments.
