Mandrake or Fedora?

Humm, hard to put a finger on it... I guess I would say I felt like it 
was designed to be easy to use but it wasn't easy enough (for a nooby 
target audience) and it made configuring it by someone a little more 
experienced more difficult than it should have been (by hiding the 
scarry stuff). I guess I would sum by saying it felt like a jack of all 
trades and master of none. On the other hand I find Fedora is a better 
balance. Still easy to use (with a little hand-holding for the nooby) 
while also being easy to get at it's guts when needed.

My $0.02, ymmv.
