[olug] Installfest, Mandrake and RedHat7.2

[Craig Wolf]

I personally have had problems with Mandrake on laptops but have had great success' on desktop machines.  Red Hat seemed to load much easier on the laptops for me.  Just my 2 cents...

PS  Anyone have any experience with Alpha boxes?  I am bringing a behemoth out there Sat. for the Installfest to challenge anyone who can help.  The monitor doubles as a room heater as well (nice in our cold office here).  

See ya all there!!

I agree with Mike.  Mandrake has diverged very significantly from Red
Hat.  I've used both of them fairly extensively and find Mandrake to be
much fuller featured, more up-to-date, and easier to use, even for those
of us who do not depend on graphical tools.  In particular, I have found
that configuring various services, such as CVS, for example, is more
difficult under Red Hat, possibly because Red Hat makes less effort to
include the extras that people commonly want.

Just my opinion,

Mark
