No! it's not better, just simpler. it is a pre-configured redhat distrib
packaged with kde. The install is _very_ easy and fast, and you're
ready to work. for example, there's an icon for CD-rom and floppy
 - very handy.
I would say it is good for those who don't want to bother with
configurations and installations, just begin to work as they would
with M$ win*.* . But for those who want to build their own "euphoric"
environment and do some programming I think standard redhat is
surer.
I didn't try the last mandrake, I heard that it is much more complete
than the previous one.
The debian is sayed to be the prefered one for developers... can't
say. did someone try that?
Most people around me use redhat... new monopoly?
