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.

    Most developers use gentoo or debian. Please TRY to BE serious.

    I dispise this attitude. Yes, I agree that Mandrake should make profits for their work, and that serious users should CONCIDER purchasing it.

    What I really hate is the 'Come on in, Linux is free, don't pay for MS CRAP' attitude soon to be followed up by the 'Oh, we got you hooked now. I know we said it's free, but you should buy it anyways, otherwise you're a low life blah blah blah'.

    It's not very becoming.
