mandrake

I am thinking of switching to the Mandrake distro. I have been using Red Hat / Fedora for several years and have been very happy with it, but I am getting nervous with the 'experimental' orientation of Fedora. I prefer to have my system be stable. Fedora Core 2 has worked well for me, but I find that I can't install some programs (e.g. Icewm) . I also don't like the memory footprint.

My concern is that there is little literature on Mandrake, and that updates to software might be a bit hard to get. On the otherhand, I have used Mandrake before and liked it a lot.
