I just installed mandrake 9.2 last night, it's sweeet... I didn't use
Linux as a desktop until Mandrake 9.1, 9.2 is even better.
As for support from RH, what are you after? The updates? I don't even
use the built-in update manager in Mandrake.
I use a package called autoupdate. I fmirror the Mandrake updates dir
from mirror.aarnet.edu.au and then use autoupdate to get the packages
from itself.
You could setup RH+autoupdate to get it's updates from aarnet as well.
