My understanding is that fedora will be served with apt and/or yum, and not by 
redhat.  Since I think apt is easier to use than RHN, anyway, no big loss.

Mandrake seems to be coming out of bancrupcy, but one way of generating 
revenue they are using is to push ads to users of the free version.  Ick ick

uses supermount?  That is the one thing Mandrake has going for it, IMHO.
