Casual viewing: Mandriva 2008 Spring RC1, Fedora 8
,----[ Quote ]
| My initial judgement notwithstanding, Mandriva 2008 Spring may just turn out
| to be a pretty good release and a decent distribution, especially if you want
| good video support off-the-CD. If the final release is as good as this
| release candidate then this will make the second consecutive Mandriva release
| that actually works from the get-go and is a pleasure to work with. Based on
| my admittedly limited experience and not-so-humble opinion I rank it up there
| with Mint 4 and Simply Mepis 7.

[Mandriva CEO:] An open letter to Steve Ballmer
,----[ Quote ]
| Wow! I’m impressed, Steve! What have you done for these guys to change their
| mind like this? It’s pretty clear to me, and it will be clear to everyone.
| How do you call what you just did Steve, in the place where you live? In my
| place, they give it various names, I’m sure you know them.
|
| Hey Steve, how do you feel looking at yourself in the mirror in the morning?
|
| Of course, I will keep fighting this one and the next one, and the next one.
| You have the money, the power, and maybe we have a different sense of ethics
| you and I, but I believe that hard work, good technology and ethics can win
| too.

Lessons from Africa: How to Kill Your Own FUD

| So, even as Microsoft claims superior quality over Linux, they act as if they
| don't even buy their own FUD. If they really believed that Windows was
| superior to Linux, they wouldn't have to bribe people with “marketing help”
| to get them to choose Windows.
