Mandrake 6 and RH 6 are nearly identical. A full RH 6 installation is 1118 Mb
or thereabouts and mandrake is 1145 Mb or thereabouts. I do not think there are
any substantial differences at all. I have not done a really thorough check but
I suspect it might be that Mandrake includes a bit more graphics or KDE things.

Mandrake uses RH 6 as the underlying distribution.

The major advantage (some would not see this is an advantage) is that the KDE
innterface in Mandrake is much closer to Windows GUI and is thus a lot easier
for new linuxers to negotiate.
