When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

I've been a RH loyalist since 4.2 but RH 8.0 disappointed me so much (I did the 8.0 install at work) that I looked elsewhere when I considered upgrading my 7.2 home machine.
I hope Mandrake staves off bankruptcy because my first impression is one of incredible AWE. The install is very nice... I like Mandrake's Partition tool, choice of journalling file systems (I choose XFS), picked up my Windows partition/drive (for the Kids, not me), included Windows in the boot menu (lilo), etc., etc.
I have to side with the author on the stupidity of aumix, the name is not intuitive and the interface isn't all that great either... but other than that I am REALLY impressed.
It's also lightening fast compared to the RH 7.2 (custom kernel that was optimized for i686) install I had on here just this morning.
I think even my parents could run this distro!
Cheers
