I've got an older computer I'm gonna put Linux on.
I just need to know should I go with Mandrake, or Redhat? And what's the differance?
I've heard Redhat is better, but not why it's better.

Mandrake IS Red hat but Red Hat is NOT Mandrake
The top dogs who created the beuaty known as Red Hat was upset with where it was going and went out again and wrote Mandrake - it can do every Red Hat can and a whole lot more.
depending on how OLD your rig I would go Mandrake first but I think if it is older than a 586 machine then go Red Hat.

What???
think of it this way...
Pentium // is a pentium
where as
Pentium is not a Pentium //
make sense???
pentium // - you 'SHOULD' be able to use Mandrake - which is the better one of choice! and I can give you a copy of it - I purchased the 3 disk set a while back for it.

he took the magnet off a blown subwoofer and wired it into his hamster cage and the magnetic sine waves somehow are dirupting the computer signals in perfect parrallel to allow such an overclock while maintianing normal temps! it is truly amasing and Ripley has been contacted.
