the difference between slackware and redhat is that slackware
splits in floppy-sized blocks, and named e1,a1,a2.. (a<..> for
 applications, for example. redhat uses complete packages,
one per application, sources, even the kernel itself(*.rpm) .
It is fully modular and permits to easily install or uninstall any
binary.
The Mandrake distrib is based on RedHat and it is the easiest I
have seen to install. but I didn't have so much problems with
redhat.
