Re: [TCLUG:6525] redhat vs mandrake

[Ben Luey <lueyb@carleton.edu>]

Does the pentium optimizations mean that I should stick with redhat on
my 486 server? Also, aside from pentium optimizations and udma, are is
there any advantages for mandrake over redhat on a server that isn't
running X?

(It sure sounds cool for a desktop machine though!)

Thanks,

Ben
