Hmm. Not an easy one to answer.

The install looks very redhattish, and tuhe filesystem is very similar.
Mandrake seem to take a lot more care with setting up than RedHat, in
particular there are less security holes and things like PostGreSQL (and
now also MySQL) functions in the PHP3 module work out of the box.
