Well, for RedHat, those digits refer to the release of the package
containing the kernel.  Since Mandrake is based off RH, I'd assume that
they're the same thing.

You can change that -15 really easily, actually: edit the toplevel kernel
Makefile (likely in /usr/src/linux/Makefile) and change the value of the
EXTRAVERSION variable.  I find this useful when I build a custom kernel, so
I keep my builds apart.
