The first release of Mandrake was based on Red Hat Linux (version 5.1) and K Desktop Environment in July 1998
It later mutated into mandriva (a fusion of the French distribution Mandrakelinux or Mandrake Linux and the Brazilian distribution Conectiva Linux), but both distro's are now discontinued (according to that same wikipedia page), since 2011.
Not sure what "root version" means but I started my Linux journey in late 1998 on Mandrake. Easy install, easy to use. Can't remember the KDE version but I ended up switching to Gnome v1.0
Distribution: Mint 20, Kali, Peppermint, Ubuntu, MakuluFlash, Fedora 32, Windows 12 Lite, MakuluLinux

I guess I did to at that time they kept giving it out with Linux mags I think I had Red Hat before that even before 1986.
