Happy 10th birthday, Mandriva Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, today - July 23rd, 2008 - is the tenth anniversary of the release of
| Linux-Mandrake 5.1, the very first public release of what is now Mandriva
| Linux. It was versioned 5.1 as it was a fork of Red Hat 5.1 (it was more or
| less RH 5.1 with KDE 1.0 added).

| This is currently my favorite popular distro. From a practical standpoint, I
| feel it is better than Windows Vista. I don’t say that as a Linux slappy.
| Looking at it from an angle of which OS enables me to do the things I need to
| do day in and day out, Mandriva shines. My next article will compare Vista
| and Mandriva 2008 in depth, and I will convince you why 2008 wins.

| So, even as Microsoft claims superior quality over Linux, they act as if they

| superior to Linux, they wouldn't have to bribe people with “marketing help”
| to get them to choose Windows.

| Talk about spinning to a ridiculous level!

| If it isn't about the cost of software, why don't you give all your products

| guess what? MS software costs money!
|
| Overall, we're talking more than 100,000 Classmate PCs when the deployment is
| complete. That's a crap load of licenses!
