Unless I misunderstood you, you're saying you don't think
KDE is integrated into RedHat? Well, if that's your
understanding, that's an incorrect understanding.... KDE
*is* integrated into RedHat. However, it's not the default
Window Manager, Gnome is. THAT is the biggest GUI
difference.... that and that Mandrake uses a newer version
of KDE.
My understanding of the biggest overall difference between
Mandrake and RedHat is that Mandrake is RedHat with newer
versions of the apps, kernel, etc.
