Shareholder Fight Threatens Mandriva SA

Posted by timothy on from the many-fond-memories-of-mandrake-linux dept.

LinuxScribe writes "A shareholder fight (French [Google translation]) has put one of the oldest commercial Linux vendors at risk of shuttering on January 16. If Mandriva can't raise 4 million euro in capital by then, it will have no choice but to cease operations."

    The name doesn't help. "Man driva" sounds like a gay porn.

    shuttleworth's meddling is the only reason people dont have to spend 20 hours fucking with /etc/X11.conf just to get X running.

    debian has had to up its game to match ubuntu. people who dont understand this are just living in fantasy land, and do not remember the 1990s.

    if you want to know what its like without ubuntu, go install NetBSD and see if you can get gnome working in under 10 hours, with 200KBPS internet link and an old computer. good luck. that's what debian used to be like.
