One thing I'm curious about, though.  There are certainly lots of
reasons to not stick with Redhat.  The one that ultimately had me switch
to Mandrake was their lack of support for and the damage that they did
to KDE.  I wanted to be able to move forward with KDE releases as they
came out, rather than wait the months and months that it seemed it would
take Redhat to come out with binaries for the newest flavour of KDE.

Today, however, there are KDE 3.1.1 binaries available for Redhat 8.0,
and still no binaries for Mandrake 9?  What's up?
