while I was gone, my techie had some problems with Mandrake’s pkg handling and wiped my new server to try gentoo. It wouldn’t recognize the network card. So the server’s down again, and he convinced me to let him set it up with fedora tomorrow.
??I always heard Madrake was the redhat that worked!
Also, I gotta say this server is the most stable I’ve had in a long time, and it was a reject computer. Which is weird. It’s also Mandrake 9.2 (not 10). Longest uptime I’ve ever had.
He said he had nothing but errors compiling stuff. I had no trouble with 10 for the whole month I got to use it. But Fedora’s close I guess. I don’t know what I’ll lose with Fedora that I had with Mandrake.
Yeah I guess it’s personal preference. I used Mandrake 6 a lot and I really liked 10. I installed several packages without a problem but Brock informs me that Mandrake is ‘weak’ at that. I guess fedora has YUM? that installs packages and all the updates at once.
