Hi,
I am a little bit surprised how some people interprete Mandrake business
policy.
If you are going to abandon Mandrake and your move is based on an
article then... :(
Spreading business activities is only a good thing (as Chris mentioned
in his mail), and every
serious company does this. I rather see Mandrake buying other companies
then other companies
buying Mandrake.
Do you really think that, for example, Mercedes Benz only produces cars?
And Carlsberg beer?
No way.
But Mandrake people should better react on these rumours cause they can
really damage
Mandrake Linux distribution. If people are worried about Mandrake Linux
future and they are not
sure their software will be suported aymore, then Mandrake has a real
problem.
