Why is someone pretending to be Calum?
Anyway Red Hat is a good distro, and having used slackware and Gentoo, I must say that I still like Mandrake the most. Some linux people scoff at us linux users who arent "31337" enough to use Slack, but thats just it, I am elite enough to use slack, in fact I did for several months, but when it comes down to it, Mandrake makes things easier. Yeah I know how to edit text files, but when there is a nice tool like Mandrake Control Center, that makes doing things easier, I like it. I can compile from source no problem, but rpm's are just easier. Look at Void Main. He is the linux master, but he doesnt use some obscure distro. No he uses Red Hat, and he probably knows more about linux than 90% of Slackware users. Dont get me wrong, I like Slackware, but for everyday use, its more of a chore than Mandrake, Red Hat, or SuSE.
