MandrakeMove 2 And Mandrakesoft Profit Reports 102
Mad_Rain writes "Two new developments in the Mandrake Linux camp: For the beta-testers and live-cd crowd, MandrakeMove 2 (which is based on Mandrake 10) is undergoing beta testing. 2.6 Kernel anyone? Financially, Mandrake seems to be improving, as they cite a report from EuroLand Finance about how they compete with Red Hat or SUSE, at least in the marketplace (as opposed to on the desktop)."

I D/Led Mandrake 10 the DAY it came out, yes I spent $60 for a year of MDKClub...
For my $60 I got a copy for me, which is running now (a bit buggy imo), a copy for my son, 2 friends, and about 15 copies for other people...
And I BET that my free copy will do much more than XP Pro will do (out of the box).... Will XP Pro open
Why doesn't M$ supply such software for free?
Greed...

All I have to say is that Mandrake makes a very secure server and a very easy to use desktop and they do so with a GNU smile on their face.
I will make however a few historical comments:
*Have you tried rpmdrake and used it to create Raid Arrays or LVM volumes? Look up how many years they have had such a tool and compare it to other distributions.
*Research which distro first used CUPs and made it easy to use multi-function devices in Linux?
*Research which distribution has a zeroconf/Rendevous in it for a while
*Have you tried their server wizards, which they have had for years?
*Research urpmi when you get a chance. It is a good as Debian's apt, which is the installer by which all other ought to be measured. And even though apt-for-rpm is now available, it isn't as good as either of the above, not to mention that these have yet to be formally embraced in an officially shipping product by either Novell or Red Hat.
If you can afford to send Mandrake a few bucks, do so.We need more companies like Mandrake around. If anything, it will keep both Red Hat and Suse honest.
Ps: Oh.oh.. That Stallmanite reference will drive all of the anti-RMS cloud out of the closet
