Hi guys, I think think that regardless of the outcome of Mandrake the Company, the MDK distribution will be around for some time to come as these projects seem to have an inertia which forsake the economics.Its the users and vollunteers that keep them alive. Mandrake has brought many over from the dark side but it is just another Linux installer with a few extra desktop bobbles. The relentless geometric progression that is OSS will continue. Toolz will improve, inspire and be created anew. The Universe will continue to cool at a rate that Tux would approve of...
