I used to be a big fan of Mandrake. They had a seamless installer way
before RedHat decided to do the same. But with the French being so
arrogant in their stand against the US (while claiming that we
Americans are the arrogant ones), well I just can't support a company
that's based in France any longer. I have similar feelings about Suse
being a German company.. To me RedHat whether its Fedora or what I've
got Professional Workstation, either is far superior than Suse or
Mandrake. I've got nothing but good things to say about RedHat. Their
customer support has been first rate (when I've had to resort to
that).. Most of the time, their documentation leads me right to what I
need. Redhat's also realist in my humble opinion. They know Microsoft
has the desktop market edge, so their going after the server market.
Good business move if you ask me. I'm thankful they've not totally
abandoned the desktop. Fedora's a great distro.. For me, I'll stick
with the best American Linux. Anyway, just my two cents.
