I haven't tried the lastest version of Red Hat (6.2), but I do have 6.0
and did some downloading of 6.1 packages before I started with
Mandrake. Actually, the reason that I started using Mandrake was
because I just stumbled onto they're site and noticed that they had a
new release out (7.0-2) and it claimed support for my video card and
sound card(which I was struggling with under SuSE 6.3 and Red Hat 6.0).
I downloaded and installed the iso and was very impressed! Since then,
I haven't gone back; not so much because Mandrake is better, just
because I've found quite a few little tweaks that I find useful. I
think you could do just as well with either Red Hat or Mandrake.
