Re: Mandrake for PPC - the secret distribution?

2003-08-01 Thread pascal.gagnon
There is some announce:

http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/9.1/91ppc.php3

But we are so few compare to the importance of i586 for them.
Guess the ppc-side of mandrake is just in the shadow of the i586 for the press. (Just 
like they keep associate Mandrake to mainly-only KDE-desktop sigh! I almost only use 
their just-enough-customn-but-so-good-Gnome. Oh well...

So spread the Good News: Mandrake do PPC, Mandrake do Gnome !!!
Longue Vie à Mandrake !!!

Mandrake for PPC - the secret distribution?

2003-08-01 Thread Janus Sandsgaard
First: Thanks to Mandrake for making a great distribution available for
Macintosh. And thanks to Stew for being so active on this mailinglist. The
Mandrake comunity mist be one of the best.

There is something I don't understand: Why is the PPC-edition of Mandrake
kept as a kind of "the secret distrobution"? I meet a lot of Apple-users
who never heard that a version 9.1 is out (tehy know YDL). Why dosen't
Mandrake make it available in a boxed edition? Why don't Mandrake make any
PR for the PPC-edition? Which leads me to: Why does Mandrake spand
resources developing and supporting a new PPC-version without making PR
and money on it? I don't get it.
