It's a redhat-based/redhat-style distribution, so most things are quite similar to redhat (i.e. it uses rpms and the system layout is much the same). But it doesn't use NPTL or O(1), so a vanilla kernel with vserver patches works just fine on Mandrake. -Simon _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
