Not looking to start an OS war!  :)

What makes Mandrake better than RedHat?  I'm seriously looking at a new
distro, and while I have RedHat 7.2 CDs ready to go, I'm curious about
Mandrake.  So, I'm wondering what, in the opinion of those who have run
both RedHat and Mandrake (and who prefer the latter), makes it preferable?

Cheers!
