In what way for pros rather than redhat, mandrake, etc?

Am I right in thinking that Mandrake is an optimised Redhat?

I would not have said 'optimised'. As far as I remember Mandrake was created
basically as redhat linux with the KDE X window system as the default
user interface. It also had a simpler installation procedure. In that
respect it was easier for users/newbies to install and go...:-)
