Redhat->Mandrake Equivilant Commands


I've been mainly a Redhat user the last 8 months and I've just started using Mandrake. What are some equivilant usefull commands?

Redhat Mandrake
redhat-config-network ->
redhat-config-users ->
up2date ->

Or any other common one's that I'll probably need or want

Thanks

The MCC is the central program for gui configuration.
Most of the configuration programs are in /usr/sbin and contain the letters drak or drake.

To update your system, you can either use the graphical update program, or enter as root:
urpmi --update

Since Mandrake is based on Red Hat, the actual network scripts and rc files in /etc that these programs manipulate are likely in the same locations.

yup, you can configure stuff through Mandrake Control Centre(mcc). Most of the tools have drake in them or beging with drak. Like menudrake, hardrake2, userdrake, drakboot, rpmdrake etc.

Sorry, I guess I'm saying almost the same thing as jschiwal.
