[plug] RedHat/Mandrake

[John Knight]

Good to see some "hardkore" users with a "capital 4"! Mandrake 8.1 should be 
pretty good when that's released as Mandrake is one of my favoured distros 
(along with turbolinux). As for the clunkiness, try using the Reiser or XFS 
file system to speed things up a bit and make sure that you configure your 
kernel.

seeya then! :)
