Did you guys see the post/mail they sent out? MandrakeSoft needs some more support. (cash)

I bought two memberships in response. Do you run Mandrake? Please try to help out as they are a awesome 'simple' distro.

nope........don't like Mandrake. I like Redhat and Slack.

Mandy is too much like Windows XP. Has too much crap with it and it's too bubbley.

When I have the cash to give to them I would be happy to give it to them..

darthtux · 09-03-2003, 07:15 PM

I totally agree Whithat. Red Hat and Slack all the way

sxa · 09-03-2003, 07:43 PM

I am a Red Hat user, but I would give money to the Development for other Unix/Linux systems..

Yeah well, debian needs cash, lets donate half a million to their cause.

I'll put in 5 bucks of the half a million, anyone else wanna take care of the rest?

I wonder how Red Hat is doing money wise, it seems alot of these other companies are needing money..

i like slackware's business ways, buy or download. ill buy just to support them. unlike redhat slackware isnt a company (i dont think), i mean it's just patrick and like 3 or 4 of his friends: http://www.slackware.com/about/

sxa · 09-03-2003, 11:35 PM

I guess because my dad always uses redhat I have gotten addicted to it, and now I tend to stick with redhat, and when they upgrade so do I..

Brain Drop · 09-04-2003, 12:20 PM

i liked red hat once before
but im starting to like mandrake more and more
installations simple, setup is a breeze
and with the time left over
i go eat some cheese

Oh, its a company alright, registered Federal Trademark, etc.. Four people total, athough not the guys listed on the site, which is a point of humor in its inaccuracy. They've been running just fine in the black since about a year or so after the Walnut Creek debacle, maybe sooner, I can't remember right.

Cheers,

I think he meant that Mandrake is needing money once again, since they have been having money problems for awhile now.
