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.
