that, just because it used RPM patches, that didn't mean you could
download (RedHat) RPM's from anywhere and install them.
That is not accurate.
Mandrake and RedHat do use the same RPM system. You can install either RPM on
either system. The fact is, due to dynamically linked libraries, you're best
to use RPMs built on the distro you're using.
