I used Mandrake for years and it used to be just RH recompiled for Pentiums. I loved the URPMI tool that took care of dependency's for you but it was still a workaround of a packaging system that is broken.
I have moved to Ubuntu which uses the Debian packaging system that has dependecy resolution built-in. I mostly use the Synaptic tool but that is a just a GUI front end, not an add-on tool that tries to workaround a broken system.
