Mandrake or Fedora?

[Madison Kelly]

I have switched to Fedora on four on my machines (including my daily 
work and main home machines) as well as have helped a few friends make 
the switch to Fedora. Heck, I have even gotten two Linux newbies up and 
running under Fedora. All in all, I am quite happy with it.

My vote :)

I've got it down to those two mostly because I'd been using RedHad for so many years, that I'm honestly not all that interested in having to relearn new configurations, setups, and all that.  I use Linux as a developer, and as such I'm not all that into the administration side of things, so I'd like to use something that's familiar.  I like to minimize my time spent on administering the box, and focus on what I like playing with (Java, PHP, etc, etc on Linux).
