Mandrake News
DCowern writes "Mandrake yesterday released their FY2001-2002 earnings and I'm glad to say it's looking real good for them. They've cut operating costs by 42% and increased revenues by 31%. They're still not quite in the black yet but they're expecting to break even month-to-month beginning in February. The full report is here. In other news, Mandrake announced two new programs yesterday. The first is Multi Network Firewall, which looks like an extremely nice package for running small to medium-sized networks. The second program, and my favorite, is their "OS refugee" offer."
Hogwash.
Idiocy.
I mean, what exactly are they trying to say here:
You had to pay $100 extra for your computer because it had Windows preinstalled, so now you have the opportunity to pay $15 more for a product that by all rights ought to be free to replace what you already bought and paid for?
Give me a friggin' break.
I figured a forum full of GNU/ButtPirates would be the best place to come out of the closet and admit that I like to have sexual intercourse with other men.

Hi, Rick
Try here (believe it or not).
Go flame it out your ass, shit faced mother fucker.
Thanks fags, I already found it on ibiblio.org. I'll refrain from commenting on why a piece of software based on a 20 year old architecture can't keep the ancient interface of plip from breaking every other release.
I don't know what kind of drugs you're on. I don't see that moderation. Why don't you quit complaining about such stupid things and get a life.
i am going to film myself shooting you in the face with a shotgun. haha!
You are correct, they are not refugees, they are in fact illegal immigrants.

What idiots voted this insightful? He is either making a joke, or has the linguistic ability of a slashdot editor.

I was a Linux advocate for many years now... but I should say that Mandrake is doing the business very bad... The version 9.0 is less stable than Windows XP, has a bunch of bugs. Linux community is going in a bad way too. We're looking at the end of this Linux era. Sorry if you don't agree with me, but the reality is the reality. Linux will survive as a Server OS and will never ever reach the desktop. On the desktop you'll end with XP which is very stable and affordable.
MandrakeSoft should shut down its operations. You'll remember me, Mandrake will not survive for one more year. The only Linux distribution that did great business is Red Hat, on the server area.
There is no good and stable software for Linux to focus on the desktop users, there aren't any multimedia titles, almost no games, this is pathethic, and you'll be much more productive using Windows. End of Story.
sorry for my english.
