Mandriva Linux Attracts 2,000 Partners
,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to Linux, most U.S. headlines involve Canonical, Novell or Red
| Hat. But another Linux distribution — from Mandriva S.A. of Paris, France —
| is making a name for itself in the global IT channel. Consider this: More
| than 2,000 IT partners have lined up to back Mandriva, up from about 1,200 in
| 2007, The VAR Guy has learned.

Happy metrics on community growth

| The blue line is users, and the purple line is posts. In December 2005, there
| were 26,771 registered users. During the year 2006, there were around 87,000
| posts to the forums. In January 2007, there were 39,596 registered users, a
| rise of around 13,000. I believe this is partly because the forums were
| opened up to all users during this time - previously, some areas were
| restricted to Club members only.

| the LUKS encryption system into the installer. What this means is that
| Mandriva 2009 will allow users to encrypt their partitions directly from the

Living with Mandriva

| That’s pretty much all I’ve done. So far, nothing has crashed, Plasma has
| behaved itself and everything has “just worked”. Mandriva has made me forget
| that I’m using KDE 4, which is actually a good thing!
