Indeed, we see RH with high profit and many big contract, Suse with big announcement and Mandrake with .... I just wonder is it a problem with French government ? Not enough support from him ? Are they going to do like for Bull ? let it die in a lethargy ? I don't understand why mandrake and Bull don't join their force to promote a solution in server place as mdk seems to have the competence. Clic may be a good beginning if and only if a construtor is behind them assurring support. We ( French as I'm French ) we let die concorde, our army is in a bad way with it's equipment, we let die Vivendi, we put FT in a bad situation, we lost STMicrolectronics. We believe more in free market than U.S.A where governement help some of their enterprise , not with subvention but with contracts ( more efficient ). And in France ? Someone lmay tell me, Linux is for every country, etc ... But does nobody notice that countries are using linux and distribution never refuse to assume their origin ? everybody know that Suse is a german distibution, they're first in germany and have big contract with ... Germany administration. The same for RH ( U.S army, N.Y.S.E, ... ). There's also Red Flag, etc ... MandrakeSoft make very good products. For some things they are not enough pro, and their marketing is no efficient enough. No money, so take commercial with % rush on administration, rush everywhere ( France, Quebec, Africa, francophone countries ). Push hard. Make custom products for them, open or mid-open, but please live. Community spirit is great but when you will die we will only have RH or Suse :( -- FACORAT Fabrice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fiventis
