Redhat is much better than Mandrake IMHO.
Redhat uses Nautilus to access samba shares. Perfect. I do not know what mounting shares is anymore. GNOME-VFS for you there. Creating Samba shares is a breeze. And so is settin permissions on them. I do not care much for a 'graphical boot' Nothing in it for me yes. Nice graphical touch. an Redhat could do it in a flash if they wanted to. I prefer knowing exactly whta the computer is doin at boot time to enable me to find problems if there are any.
Do people here not care about NPTL???
Why should Redhat do a radical UI change with every release. It is based on GNOME2.2 and KDE3.1 which are point releases. Redhat has done a sterling job of polishing up the menus. They are very Intuitive now.
Redhat's hardware detection is the best. Period.
MPLayer might have legal issues anyway. Better safe than sorry if you are Redhat. Too large and too nice a target.
The biggest omission IMHO is a way to uninstall third party rpms. But they are working on it. Anyway stop complaining about Redhat. They are not a monopoly. If Mandrake does it for you, then good, you do not need Redhat. You probably do benefit indirectly from it though. You will be thankful for NPTL soon enough. And for all those kernel developments.
