Actually, Mandrake is more than just vaguely similar to RedHat, it still holds basic RedHat components while adding new features. From Mandrakesoft; http://www.mandrakesoft.com/company/about/prodinnov Since the very first version of Mandrakelinux commercialized in February 1999, which was based on the Red Hat distribution of Linux together with the KDE graphical user interface, Mandrakesoft has focused on developing an original product built around many innovations. Nevertheless, Mandrakelinux remains compatible with Red Hat. The following tools have been developed through the combined efforts of the Mandrakesoft Research and Development team and the international contributors to Mandrakelinux. <snip> The undercarriage is still very RedHat (not to mention the obvious, that were talking about GNU/Linux) . Keep in mind that as company for profit, Mandrake will still make a marketing distinction between its products and those offered by RedHat. Regardless, with the exception of certain GUI features, both distros hold more in common than not. James On Sat, May 22, 2004 at 03:59:57PM -0700, James D.

Mandrake was based on Red Hat Linux about 5 years ago but they've been fairly separate for a LONG time. That doesn't mean that they don't have a lot of things in common, but they're quite dissimilar these days. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
