And, well, excuse us for trying to make a living, but we do need to eat.


Bla,bla,bla,bla.
Where did I hear that before?
You and everyone else on the planet.
But most people don't whine about it.

And ad couple more versions of Mandriva and you'll be like Vista.
What will Mandriva Ultimate cost? $599?
And if I want to run one of the servers, like let's say Apache, then I suppose I have to buy the Powerpack+ at 179 euro?

Mandriva really cast a dark shadow over my somewhat pleasant memories of Mandrake which was the distro I started my Linux life with.
Segregating users into Club members and non-members and commercializing the distro so much was a really bad move.
Guess what a lot of the club non-members did? We moved to different distros and never looked back.
Find some other suckers for you club.
