=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hello,
we - Ga�l Duval from the Linux-Mandrake project and Bernhard
Rosenkr�nzer from the new BeroLinux project - are very pleased to
announce that we have decided to merge the two projects because we
have similar goals and products.
We want to make the best Linux distribution for the beginner, we want
to be 100% compatible with Red Hat Linux and Un|x configuration
standards, we want it easy-to-use: we want to put Linux on the
desktop!
Bernhard Rosenkr�nzer will now be employed at MandrakeSoft - the
company which produces Linux-Mandrake - and be responsible for the
official Linux-Mandrake distribution. The new resulting distribution
will integrate the new ideas and features from BeroLinux as well as
all the new stuff that is actually developped by the Linux-Mandrake
team.
For example, in the next release, our users will have the choice
between both KDE and Gnome for the desktop manager, with new nice
interoperability features. They will also be given the possibility to
get special optimized version for their hardware too (Pentium I/II,
K6...).
We last plan to integrate some nice features like full 2.2.x kernel
support, Euro support, scalable fonts support etc.
Last but not least, we plan to open the Linux-Mandrake development so
that users can contribute and decide what they want for their Linux
distribution. Expect more details by the end of the week.
