Mandriva's Future Rosy or Rose Colored?

,----[ Quote ]
| Mandriva 2010, released last fall, was one of 
| the best releases Mandriva had achieved in 
| some time and many users were looking forward 
| to the updates and improvements to come in 
| 2010.1. Some find little comfort from 
| LaprÃvote's words during this time while 
| Mandriva is "reinventing itself." Others are 
| guardedly hopeful. Whatever happens in the 
| coming weeks and months, the storm is far 
| from over for current Mandriva customers and 
| users.

The fall and rise of Mandriva Linux 

,----[ Quote ]
| A recent report in LeMagIT, claims that 
| Arnaud LaprÃvote, the company's chief 
| executive, has found unnamed investors who 
| are prepared to rescue the company, following 
| months of rumours of financial turmoil, 
| unpaid staff and other troubles.

Mandriva pt 2

,----[ Quote ]
| Another little thing that Mandriva paid
| attention to that makes me like it that
| much more. After reading the comments to
| the earlier post, I enabled the backports
| and installed chrome from the backports,
| checked the flash plugin out of the box and
| guess what? It just works!

Moving to mandriva?!

,----[ Quote ]
| Never thought I would be writing this, but I
| am actually considering moving my Linux
| boxes (based mainly in OpenSuSE and Fedoras)
| to Mandriva! During my hey days we always
| considered Mandrake (it's name then)
| something of a play distribution or a
| distribution for Linux beginners and should
| not be used for 'serious' work.
|
| Fast forward about 10 years, after a name
| change I don't know why suddenly I felt an
| urge to pick up the latest version of
| Mandriva 2010 to give it the proverbial
| spin. After playing around with the bought
| version of Mandriva (yes I actually bought a
| copy!). I really started liking it. Let me
| just list down a few of the reasons why.
