Why Mandrake is Too Cool for UnitedLinux

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday July 3, 2002 @02:14AM from the no-surprise-here dept.

An anonymous reader says "Mandrake's lastest community (spam) newsletter contains their explanation as to why they won't join in on UnitedLinux. Besides the obvious geek-fun of rolling their own distro, they claim that the underlying idea of UnitedLinux is based on a flawed comparison to the Unix world of the 80's. " I think the whole UnitedLinux thing is lame- the distros that want to be compatible already are. UL is just the 2nd tier distros trying to get attention and ink away from the "evil forces" in North Carolina. I'll just stick to the best distribution and watch the fun from afar ;)

  Damn Linus believers, always trying to force their OS on us. I say that there is no Linus, that he is a figment of your imagination. ;)
