A Community Takeover of Mandrake?

Posted by chrisd on from the a-modest-proposal dept.

sombragris writes "Ben Reser wrote an interesting opinion about MandrakeSoft's current financial woes. Reser maintains that there's no great value in MandrakeSoft's current business model and that the best course of action for Mandrake Linux would be a community or non-profit takeover of the Mandrake distribution. Sounds definitely interesting..."

    Do we really need more Linux distributions? Seems to me that a thinning of the herd could be a good thing.

    So for whatever reason, my girlfriend has decided to stop swallowing my cum. She used to let me cum in her mouth, but recently she's been finishing the blowjob by jerking me off onto her tits. Not sure what's up with this.

    On the bright side, she finally let me fuck her in the ass the other night. Still no progress on the "threesome" front, though. Oh well.
