What I've seen of the snippets from RH6.1 is that it is done the right way. 6.0 got it wrong, earlier versions were mostly right (at least the .config options matched what was running). Debian's approach of leaving it to the user to fix is plain broken, and a source of time and money wasting support issues that need not exist. Users should be able to compile modules on a distribution out of the box if they've installed the needed packages, and not need to go around fixing things that distributions didn't implement correctly. I hope that is true of Mandrake.
