Personally, my experience was not a good one. It uses i586 RPMS, but it
used kernel-2.2.9 (version 6.0 of mandrake) and had all sorts of beta
patches applied to the kernel that they should have just used a 2.3 series
- -- wouldn't have been any different. Version 6.1 uses kernel 2.2.13 but I
don't know if they've stopped applying every patch that appears to their
kernels.
Mandrake was always giving segmentation faults and core dumps, and the
Pentium optimizations didn't seem to make a difference on my p166 with
32mb of ram.
Personally, I'd recommend the real Red Hat!
