My understanding was that the major difference between RHL and Mandrake Linux
was that mandrake has all the packages built for the Pentium-class systems
(i586).
I've been running Red Hat since 4.0 and I was thinking of changing to
Mandrake, but I think I'm going to wait until we get away from this 7.0-2
instability stuff.
I figure that the versions of Red Hat and Mandrake that have kernel 2.4 and
the (by then stabilized) new XFree86 4.0 will come out about the same times.
I'll have to make a decision by then...

every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
