I don't know what it is with people, but you can have the same level of control on your system with mandrake as you can with slakware, debian or even gentoo. You can still compile your own packages, you can remove the RPMs for libs and compile them yourself, you can set up networking without the use of their utilities, and hell, you can even remove the utilities. IF you are pressed for time and have little patience, then this is a great distro. I use it simply because I don't like to fiddle with EVERYTHING on my system. Somethings, yes, others, no.
