Mandrake 2006 Will Integrate Conectiva Components

Linzer writes "Mandrakelinux just issued this press release presenting (1) a new one-year release cycle, with a year-based naming scheme and (2) their updated development roadmap. In a nutshell: the upcoming 10.2 becomes a transitional release, labeled 'Limited Edition 2005.' Next fall will see Mandrakelinux 2006, merging Mdk and Conectiva know-how (and possibly some know-not?) For the amnesic: Mandrakesoft and Conectiva recently merged." Not everyone is pleased, though: Tingulli 3 writes "As a member of the Italian Mandrakelinux translation team , I spent nights translating some packages to be on schedule for the 10.2 release. I was quite disappointed when I discovered that a new roadmap has been announced and that there will NOT be any 10.2 release, without anybody announcing it to the community."

Mandrake to Acquire Conectiva

I was quite disappointed when I discovered that a new roadmap has been announced and that there will NOT be any 10.2 release, without anybody announcing it to the community.

I know just what he means; nothing pisses me off like somebody telling me something, and not telling me about it. Bastards.

Clearly the french company MandrakeSoft conspires against the Untied States for their actions in Iraq and is shipping them a crippled distro out of vengance.

Didn't take long for that to pop up. Troll Tuesday is tomorrow; try again then. This is Monday. Condoleeza Rice and the French are having a tryst. GW is buds with Chirac. If you want to expose a criminal, dangerous, and subversive OS, I suggest you look no farther than that axis of evil that extends from Redmond, WA to . . . er, Redmond, WA.
