Mandrakesoft Announces Name Change!  View Printable Version 
Thursday, April 07 2005 @ 07:57 AM CST
Contributed by: Linegod

Mandrake LinuxIt's been in the air for a few weeks...

After spending weeks balancing pros and cons, Mandrakesoft has decided to change its name!

The name change will apply worldwide to both the company and its products. The management team sees two good reasons for this change:

1. The recent Mandrakesoft - Conectiva merger calls for a new identity that better represents the combination of two key companies and their global presence.

2. The long-winding trademark lawsuit with Hearst Corporation has reached a point where we decided it is more reasonable for us to move forward. By adopting a new name, we eliminate the liability attached to the Mandrakesoft name and we can focus on what is important to us: developing and delivering great technology and solutions to both our customers and our user community.

We will endeavor to build even stronger brand recognition in our new name. So what is the new name?

The winner is ...

M A N D R I V A

Mandrakelinux Stays on Par with Rivals  View Printable Version 
Monday, March 28 2005 @ 05:22 PM CST
Contributed by: Linegod

Mandrake LinuxFrom eWEEK:

Mandrakesoft's MCS 3.0 ships with a typical range of open-source server software and a set of configuration tools that we found unusually approachable. However, MCS 3.0 faces stiff competition not only from its most direct rivals-RHEL and SLES-but also from less costly alternatives such as Debian and slicker-looking options such as Mac OS X Server. As such, MCS 3.0 will fit best at sites with a pre-existing Mandrake presence.

Digging into Mandrake, Novell, and Red Hat Demographics and Financials  View Printable Version 
Thursday, March 10 2005 @ 10:13 PM CST
Contributed by: Anonymous

Mandrake Linux

Could Novell overtake Red Hat as the top Linux distribution provider? MozillaQuest Magazine (mozillaquest.com) reports: Along with Novell-SUSE Linux and Red Hat Linux, Mandrake-Conectiva is in the top-tier of Linux distribution providers . . . Today . . . we look further into the financials and demographics of Mandrake-Conectiva, Novell, and Red Hat. We also look at the problems of trying to compare Linux distribution providers. And we look at where Mandrake-Conectiva, Novell, and Red Hat stand in the consumer, SMB, and enterprise arenas.

But, just what impact will the Conectiva acquisition have on the Linux landscape, and on Mandrakesoft's prominence on that Linux Landscape? . . . Novell has a huge customer base. If Novell can move a substantial number of users of its networking products such as NetWare, GroupWise, and ZENworks to its Linux distributions, Novell's Linux business easily could climb to several hundred-million dollars annually. And that could put Novell's Linux business above Red Hat's Linux business.

Review: Mandrake Corporate Desktop  View Printable Version 
Tuesday, March 08 2005 @ 07:27 AM CST
Contributed by: Linegod

Mandrake LinuxFrom Newsforge:

The corporate desktop GNU/Linux distribution is a relatively new invention, having begun with SUSE Desktop, then followed by Sun's Java Desktop System and Red Hat Desktop. But with much less fanfare, Mandrakesoft released a Corporate Desktop product last January. It's cheaper, has no minimum purchase requirement, and has support options of from one to five years. Compared to the alternatives, Mandrake Corporate Desktop is suited more for smaller shops that need a cost-effective and reliable desktop platform with corporate support.

Monday, March 07 2005 @ 10:55 AM CST
Contributed by: Anonymous

Mandrake Linux

MozillaQuest's Mike Angelo compares how Mandrake-Conectiva, Novell , Red Hat , and SUSE Linux stack up against each other on several fundamental fiscal measures. MozillaQuest Magazine (mozillaquest.com) reports: Mandrake's acquisition of Conectiva strengthens Mandrake's position among the top-tier Linux distribution providers. But, just what impact will the Conectiva acquisition have on the Linux landscape?

Mandrakesoft's CEO, François Bancilhon, sees Mandrake-Conectiva in the top tier of Linux distribution providers. And he sees Mandrake-Conectiva as a key player in the Linux community. Moreover, he sees the Conectiva acquisition as something that will increase Mandrakesoft's slice of the top-tier pie.
