MandrakeSoft Exits Bankruptcy

Posted by michael on from the free-as-a-bird dept.

joestar writes "It's official now: the Court has approved Mandrakesoft's exit plan from the Chapter 11-like protection status. This seems to be the result of the recently announced profitability of the company, and means that Mandrakesoft is now fully back to normal activities. Great news for the Open Source community and Mandrake Linux users! All details are available in an online PR."

    This is simply market forces at work. If Mandrake continues to produce a Linux distro and/or services people don't want, they will go out of business just like any other company.

    Mandrake has always had a very nice distro, so I wish them well. Hopefully we will see the competition at least get back to two for the main desktop. RH could have made it three but they caved. Some people don't like Suse for some reason. I have used and like all three, each new version just gets better no matter who's name is on the box or the website.
