Actually, I would say people who have reactions like this are
the problem.  If you don't understand something, as you *obviously*
don't with mandrake, don't criticize it.

While mandrake did start out as Redhat + KDE, it has long since
gone its own way.  Also, if you had bothered to investigate,
you'd see that Redhat 6,2 and Mandrake 7.1 *do* support sparc.
They may not be the latest versions of Redhat and Mandrake,
but they are available.

Frankly, with attitudes like you've just displayed, it's no
wonder Debian has an image problem.
