Re: linux distro version
I think it might be that Mandrake leverages off the RedHat release. The mandrake-release is probably MD-specific stuff.
Just a guess but this seems to be somewhat common among distros that hang off each other.

Necessary questions: Why? What? How? When?

Re: linux distro version
Acutaly I think this has to do more with how some RPM's grab the distribution version details.
I know that some I've installed here look at /etc/redhat-release to see if it's a new enough version, instead of relying upon standard dependancies.
It's just a quick-hack by Mandrake to get around some people's bad %pre and %post routines in RPM's.
