Okay, eventhough I haven’t used a Mandrake distro is a couple of years – I really like this move. Now we are talking about a Linux vendor that is trying to answer the needs that result from some of the day to day problems and headaches that I have to work with. If Mandrake keep this up – focus on the auto-deployement and auto configuration from a central location out to dispersed network nodes – they may give MS and AD a run for their money. 🙂

two new enterprise Linux distributions: Corporate Server and Corporate Desktop.
“These products have received specific development and testing efforts to make them as fit as possible for use in a business environment,” said Ga?l Duval, Mandrakesoft’s co-founder.
Specifically, “the new Corporate Server is meant to facilitate deployment through its auto-installation and easy configuration capabilities. It can be used for any kind of server tasks, from LDAP [Lightweight Directory Access Protocol] to Web [serving],” Duval said.
