Mandriva Buys Assets from Lycoris

Posted by timothy on from the churn-churn-churn dept.

ulteus writes "For months after the acquisition of Conectiva, Mandriva moves further with the following announcement: "Mandriva today announced an agreement to purchase several assets from Lycoris, a major North American Linux distribution for home users. As part of this agreement, Lycoris' founder and CEO Joseph Cheek is joining Mandriva to develop a new and advanced Linux desktop product.". This is exciting for all Mandriva and Lycoris users, but I'm wondering: who's next?"

    Lycoris, a major north american linux linux distro? Hardly. Lycoris is in the same class as Xandros, they have some cool ideas, but no user base to speak of.

    A major north american linux distro would be Redhat, and maybe Novell.
