  Preston,
 
  There is no truth to this at all. I don't know where your friend reads
  his news. In fact, Mandrake's sales have never been better. Their sales
  surpass RedHat's. I would recommend that you refer to the news section
  on the Mandrake web site. Make a print out and show it your ill informed
  friend.

Re: [newbie] Mandrake Bankrupt ?? -- No Way!!

2001-06-19 Thread Jeffrey M. Reed

think about it like this...they (Mandrake) never really 
were a business...it all starts as a project and that's all 
it takes. take a look at Slackware...no commercial 
representation or support, yet miraculously, it still gets 
worked on/updated (every eon or so - LOL)
