Mandrake includes it, SSL enabled and all.  I'd still swear Red Hat had
it for 7.1, even if it was a contrib.  I'm tired of mucking around in
RH's configuration trying to get things started.  I installed Mandrake
8.1 on the system and I've already run the .asp pages through asp2php
(with much tweaking to be done after I have a database to test against),
and I'm halfway through recreating the MSSQL database structure under
PGSQL.
When it comes time to get the rep laptops with Linux, I'll see if any
come with Mandrake pre-installed or at least guaranteed to work.  Looks
like MdkSoft is going to get this set of support contracts.
