Mandrakelinux Releases New Corporate Line

Posted by timothy on from the more-than-hanging-on dept.

joestar writes "Mandrakelinux' line of products has just been updated with two new products which are dedicated to the corporate world: Mandrakelinux Corporate Server and Mandrakelinux Corporate Desktop for x86 and x86-64 architectures. According to Mandrakesoft, these products focus on reliability and security, and will be maintained for five years. In my opinion, this release really says much about new Mandrakesoft's strategy and business. Press release here."

    5 updates in 1 year clearly contradicts that.

    Even Sun provides quarterly Solaris updates and more frequent patch clusters, but they at least provide long enough support timelines that customers aren't pressured to upgrade when and where Sun says. Solaris 8 is still probably the most popular version of Solaris in use, yet it is over four years old and has seen well over a dozen updates.

    Everything on CD4 should be on the "urpmi" sources. Just add your sources from http://www.urpmi.org and install away.
    This is like someone saying they don't like Debian because there's not XYZ package on the CD. But there's tons of stuff available via apt.
