Gael Duval, creator of Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva Linux), has been fired from the company. The information leaked on the Mandriva forums, and Duval later confirmed it on his own webpage. He says: "Since the information has leaked, I will post a message in the next few days on this website about why this is the end of the Mandriva story for me, and what's next." Since Mandrake was for many the first distribution they ever tried, I think it is only fair to thank him for creating Mandrake, and to wish him the best of luck in any following endeavours.

Mandrake (not Mandriva!) was my fourth distro. I started on Red Hat, moved to Slackware, but because I was too stupid back then, and couldn't figure it out, I went to SuSE, then to Mandrake. I eventually made my way back to Slackware, but only as a second OS. My primary distros are Debian (stable, on my server) or Debian-based (Ubuntu, to be exact) on my desktop systems.
I do have to thank Gael for Mandrake. It made it much easier to get my wife off of Windows, and over to Linux (now she runs a Mac though).
