Actually, I believe they not only sued them, but that they *won*. Apparently they weren't ordered to immediately change the name, but I would assume that a change will be forthcoming (http://www.mandrakesoft.com/company/investors/newsletter/sn040214). A pity when a company loses this sort of name-claim suit when they *shouldn't*. - Dana Tellier (mostly a lurker with a lot of time on his hands lately thanks to unemployment...) _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
