MandrakeSoft's Status Update

Posted by timothy on from the smooth-install-pretty-desktop dept.

joestar writes "MandrakeSoft today posted an update letter from its CEO about the company's health. Among other things, it's interesting to learn that the company seems to be on the good track to go out of the "chapter-11 protection" before the end of the year, that it's taking part to several publicly-funded research projects, and that Mandrake 9.1 is having a good success. They also thank for the warm support they received from the community. Worth a read for all Mandrake fans, like myself. Viva la Mandrake!"

    Just like P2P users pay via the ads in those programs?

    Stealing content is taking content that is available only through a subscription and giving it to other people

    No thats sharing content thats under copyright, stealing content is hacking into the site, copying it and then deleting the data from their harddrive.

    Get your facts straight, if you are an English major you should at least know the difference between copyright infringement and stealing.
