MandrakeSoft Roundup

uninet writes "MandrakeSoft, the French GNU/Linux distributor who filed for bankruptcy protection one year ago last week, announced today that its first fiscal quarter of 2004 resulted in a positive operating result of 280,000. The company also announced Beta 1 of Mandrake Linux 10.0 today." Additionally, tkittel writes that "Mandrake has just announced on their club pages that they will release an updated version of their 9.2 ISO's (but just for club members). This is due to popular request after the numerous updates after the initial release." OSDN's own Robin Miller had a chance to talk with MandrakeSoft's CEO and learn more about the company's future plans.

These guys are suing me

Offered me $10 for my personal domain name; I said I might sell it more than that, then they sued me. This sucks.

I said it before, and I say it again:

No way I'm going to enter bills for Mandrake Club Services from a French company into my books.

I do not want to explain to the accountant and the taxman that Mandrake Club is not a parisian brothel.

For gods sake, choose a professional, if boring, name.

keepin' up with the joneses

This seems like a sucky time to bring out 10.0.

If Mandrake is going to ever catch up with the other super-stable, super-user-friendly, super-unix-based OS, it's going to need to get into the 10s with its product numbering.
