mandrake vs fedora

Yesterday I installed Mandrake on my main system. It's OK, but it still requires one to be root to use kppp to connect via a modem. I also didn't care for the menus. I decided to reinstall Fedora Core 2. Actually, it all worked out well since I was forced to redesign my disk layout. I eleminated Windows 98 and set up a larger second partition to store backups. Restorring my data and key applications did not take too long and now all is well.
