Thanks, I never thought of doing that. Yes, I can and will probably try it that way, but I was hoping to find someone that may have already used both or have seen some comparison on the two.
I've only used RH7.3, but have a hard time understanding how two 'mainstream' Linuxs could be so different that it woule make me want to switch. I've used SCO UNIX on a PC and IBM UNIX on an RS6000 and could hardly tell the difference. Linux is very similar to those two UNIXs, in my experience.

I've spent 4 months installing programs and getting my system just the way I want it. I can update my kernel to that version if that is what will make the difference. I can also recompile my kernel with whatever I need in it to make it work. I understand the importance of being able to update the kernel, and not too concerned about doing it. I 'seem' to have almost everything that Mandrake 9.1 offers already on my system. Is there specifics that make Mandrake 9.1 better suited to what I'm trying to do? And if it's kernel related, can't I simply update?You have such enormous hard disks that you could certainly afford to have Redhat 7.3 and Mandrake 9.1 side-by-side. Make a partition for Mandrake 9.1 and install it there. Then compare. People always talk about dual booting Windows and Linux, but remember that you can also dual-boot Linux and Linux!
