"Mandriva 2007 may be the best distribution I have used. Looking through Mandriva's forum, you see employees of the company who care and are genuinely trying to help. Mandriva offers 'Free as in freedom' versions and versions with propriatery software. You would expect a release like this to be trumpeted. Instead, the release was met with hostility. Forums on tech sites were filled with Linux users cheering for the end of Mandriva. What happened? How did a company that was loved at one time become so unpopular? Is the hostility justified?"

back in my linux begins i used mandrake, and loved it. since i have matured i have switched to debian (pure) but i have always had a soft spot for the distro i learned on. sadly ive seen this distro through its tuffer times, the bankrupcy scare, and everything. and it has always bounced back, BUT i think with the firing of Gael, that was the last straw for me, i know look on with distain at a distro i once loved. so i'll shed a tear for the original mandrake, we love you, we miss you. this thing you have become? well we dont know you anymore.
