In reply to Mandrake and Connectiva merging
The Mandrake/Connectiva merger looks like a success + a success. The result should be good. I don’t like Mandrake but a lot of people do.
By contrast the Novell/SuSE merger didn’t make much sense on paper. At least not to me. Here we had a has-been merging with a promising contender. The result is that SuSE Linux, my current favorite distro, is being bastardized by the integration of lots of expensive Novell proprietary add ons. Their web site isn’t like any other Linux distro web site. It’s becoming a different animal altogether.
Mandrake probably as a bright future. The merger with Connectiva appears to be a good move.
