  2. Maybe not bad on Mandriva Fires Founder Gael Duval, Who Plans to Sue · · Score: 3, Interesting


    Mandrake was my distro of choice before seeing the Light and converting to Debian, and I remember that it was a great distribution... but somewhere they lost the path and starting falling to the ground: the LG drives fiasco, the name change, the bloat, the battle with Ubuntu for the easy-to-use-linux crown...

    Maybe Gael has now the oportunity to create from zero a great new distribution without the inherents problems of Mandrake/Mandriva!

    I sincerely hope so.

  3. Maximum? on U.S. Internet Growth Stalling · · Score: 1, Interesting


    Maybe almost everybody in the US who could be interested in having an access to the net does have it already, so is logic to think that the percentage of internet users in the US will rise with the time, but slower every year.

    It's a pity the real poor coverage KOffice gets in the web compared to OpenOffice, being a really cool suite with great programs. It deserves a lot of respect what are they doing.

    Some commenters have said that, althought every Google is working on is labelled as Beta, all of them seem to be very polished and ready.

    They must have forgotten that little cache app fiasco, the web browsing accelerator that was so crappy it had to be removed from the public access.

    Not because is by Google it has to be good by definition.
