Does Red Hack suck?

[Thierry de Coulon]

After several trials to get YDL 4.0 to work on my PB 12" 1GHz (fine graphics 
but still no sound), I also gave Mandrake PPC 10 (beta) a try - total 
disaster, the thing won't even find a usb mouse, not to speak about no X at 
all.
Then , from some message on the web, I found out ubuntu (www.ubuntu.org) and, 
while I was at it, I tried it as well. Miracle: a fast, clean installation, 
sound, graphics...  The only thing is that they don't provide KDE and I don't 
like Gnome so much. But this shows IT CAN BE DONE.

As both Mandrake and YDL base on Red Hat, the question is: does Red Had suck? 
Should Yellow Dog not turn to another base? Considering that Ununtu is fairly 
new and should only get better - and is and seems to want to remain free as a 
free beer - YDL is going to have some problems.

Note that I did not try ubuntu on other hardware, so I possibly simly had 
luck...
