Can you please explain how Red Hat is "US-centric", and how Mandrake/other distros are not (other than Mandrake is _made_ outside the US)? How does it affect you? I'm not flaming, just want to know. I'm also outside the US (I'm Italian) and haven't run into any particular problems with that. (I must admit I haven't tried any versions of Red Hat after the 7.x series. At home I still have the 7.2 release, while at work I've switched to Debian.)
By the way, I'm using Gnome on Debian (the unofficial Gnome 2 backport to Woody, very stable despite the "unofficial" label) and I'm very happy with it. You may give it a try.

Re:A non-US-centric version would be welcome
