Mandriva and Lycoris team up

[JonEberger]

so i agree with alot said. package installation needs to be standard to get this where joe schmoe actually has a difficult decision between windows and linux. until this i don't think it'll happen.

 

mand___ has gotten better in that previously, i could install mandrake three different times with the same options and (although i know that software doesn't work this way) would seemingly get three different operating systems.

 

i think consolidation is great for linux. i know a few years ago when aol almost bought redhat we were all kinda nervous. but things like this fuel progress. things work better and when there is competition progress is made faster and the product is less expensive.

 

as far as mandriva buying lycoris....props. strategic business moves coupled with using and reusing ideas that work will produce a product that people want.

 

good job french linux guys. knock out some m$ for us.
