I couldn't agree more! I understand why people might like RH but I fail to see what it has that Mandrake doesn't...
As far as I can see nothing
OTOH, I can clearly see what mandrake does that RH does not - namley GUI config tools that work well - and intuitively.
I've just been using a Mandrake box recently and I am reasonably impressed.
You may be right.
Just to generalise madly here... I started using Redhat years ago just by default and I think I am like many fellow Redhat users that would never bother trying to defend Redhat like users of other distros.
I use it because that's what I know and as far as I'm concerned I just can't be bothered setting up and learning another distro (yet). I use my machine for programming and email. I *don't* enjoy shagging about with machine setups. Yes I know that makes me unusual in the Linux User's Group ;-)
Redhat has provided some irritations in the past which may make me move but until then... apathy rules :-P
