Here's one example .
Since Mandriva is a French based company I specifically chose the word blas? to elicit a response and it worked
Sorry in advance if dropping your name offended you ... again mentioning you and PLF were both also calculated towards getting an acknowledgment of any kind ...
Despite things like that Mandriva is still my Linux of choice... for now. At the end of my Silver membership that may change.. I have not tried Fedora core since beta 3 ... I'm also curious to see what develops out of
Ubuntu's and Linspire's collaboration.. I can't find the thread right now but one bit about not duplicating
their efforts stuck with me.. It left me with the impression that Ubuntu will concentrate on Gnome and Linspire KDE... so it will be interesting how Kubuntu will look in the future or if it has one... perhaps it will wind up that Ubuntu users can install Linspire's kde desktop and vice versa .
