Which (RH or MDK) for bare http server? Neither

[JD Runyan]

If I am not confused.  Mandrake has diverged from it's RH roots.  It has the
RPM mechanism, like most Linuxes, and a growing number of UNIXES.  I would
recommend MDK or TurboLinux to most anyone.  The only distro I stay away
from is RH, but that is mostly personal preference, and it's lack of
security features out of the box.
