Good partitioning tool, graphical interface somewhat like 'Partition Magic' Default Workstation install is a bit over a gigabyte. This GCC version is not binary compatible with either 2.95 nor will it be with 3.0 - they did include a 2.95 version for compiling the kernel and other software that may not work with the new version. Good hardware support. Very quick with security updates, has an automatic daemon to do updates if you register. Has Desktop, Development, Server options.
Custom is a list-tree.
Good hardware support. Security pretty good, inetd is very closed down, with default security option. Mandrake does have corporate support through a third party if you purchase the box, else there are a good amount of pages dedicated to it. RH took the ethernet card OK, but hung on the soundcard and needed some tweaking to get the USB Floppy to load on insertion. MDK hung on the ethernet card, did OK on the soundcard and USB floppy however.
