Mandriva officially dead

#1 Post by dasein »

Mandriva (née Mandrake) has been moribund ever since the Mageia fork (and arguably for a time before that even). Still, it's sad to see notice of the final passing of a distro nearly as old as Debian.

I used Mandrake before it combined with Connectiva to form Mandriva. It was a good distro. It's big problem back then was RPM hell and one of the reasons I migrated to Debian.

I liked Mandriva, it is a pity that it's no longer supported. Now I use Ubuntu and Gnome.

Quite an interesting twist: CEO of bankrupt Linux company says employee lawsuits put it out of business.
