Huh, that's weird. I used RH more than a little -- my home system had RH (5.2 and 6.0) over a year before it was graced with Debian, and I've used RH 6.1 and 6.2 at work. Though there are bookoos of things I like better about Debian, I never had the problem you described below.
I had the power go out on the system at least once with the 6.1 and 6.2 versions, and 5-10 times with the older versions. (The power supply at work is whack, and back then I used to enjoy trying to screw up my system somewhy ;) In every single case, fsck fixed the problems on reboot, just like on debian. Objections: 1) My statistics aren't superb. Especially on recent distros, which Mike is probably talking about. 2) I've not dealt with Mandrake.
