This spesifically is not a valid argument IMO: I actually like the more
"open" development of redhat and Mandrake, which release more often,
release several betas, rush to market with an ISO image, and possibly
publish a modified ISO image a couple of weeks later.
Leave aside the legitimacy argument. Think about a developer trying to
follow the develpment of that distro. For instance: I can relativly easily
make a "hebrew-enabled" mandrake or redhat (or debian, of course). But I
wouldn't even bother doing this with SuSE or Caldera.
