I haven't seen 'redneck' on Red Hat later than 5.something. Too bad, it
was hillarious.

The latest Mandrake is more cutting edge than the latest RH (6.1 here
installed kernel v 2.2.13, which I can't find on ftp.kernel.org for some
reason).

It also has a more complete KDE implementatino, if you're into that kind
of stuff. I tried to get my wife to use KDE, but she said that if she
wanted Windows she wouldn't have installed Linux...
