Turbolinux Not Dead Yet

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-seems-odd dept.

Abdul Nabi writes "I found this article on Linux Today which is a response from Turbolinux to the recent rumors of a shutdown. The responds contends that they are restructuring rather than shutting down." Ya know, I can't think of a single person that I know that runs Turbolinux. Maybe that has something to do with their problems.

  1. They're getting out of the US business by blackcat++ · · Score: 4, Informative

    Basically, they are shutting down their US dependance to reduce cost. The US market is overcrowded with Redhat, SuSE, Mandrake and Caldera who all try to sell support and services, too. So Turbolinux is going back to their home market where the competition is not that stiff.

    We've already seen this with SuSE back in August last year when they layed off 30 of their US staff.
