Linux distributor Mandriva facing bankruptcy?

[thewayne]

This is sad. In my brief experiments with Linux, Mandriva was one of the better ones for recognizing my particular combinations of hardware and working well. They had a shareholders meeting in early December and put forth some plans for shoring up the finances, but the majority shareholders did not approve.

It is possible that something might yet happen that will save them, but I would not hold my breath.

Ah, that's too bad. Mandriva/Mandrake was my first foray into Linux, and planted the seed that such things would be possible in my computing life.

It's almost too bad these days that even an open-source project needs corporate support just to stay afloat.
