It is for this reason that I hate rpm-based distros. Not to start a
distro war or anything but I too ran Mandrake for awhile. I was running
8.2 and waiting for 9.2 to come out before I upgraded. During the time I
was waiting for 9.2 (no longer waiting), I tried out Gentoo
(
http://www.gentoo.org) on another box. Heaven! Everything is always up
to date and compiled with just what you specify. Yes, that can be a
downside for slow boxes, having to compile everything from source but on
the faster boxes (Duron 800 and up), it's bliss because you can specify
various compile flags to optimise for your very hardware.
Sorry for the ramble but, my point is: After trying Gentoo linux, my
patience for RPM (and Mandrake) went straight to zero and I upgraded all
my production servers to Gentoo as soon as I could (about a week of
downtime each) but well worth it to keep up with various security
exploits etc.
