A few days after Mark Shuttleworth, Gaël Duval, founder of Linux Mandrake, now Mandriva, posted a FAQ related to his distribution. He addresses some controversial issues such as Will Mandriva ever demand licence fees?, How can a free software based company be sustainable? and even Why is the default desktop in Mandriva Linux blue?

Member since:You only ave to give Mandriva money if you want the ISO NOW. That fact has been pointed out in previous comments. If you want to wait a few weeks, ISOs will be generally available.
You can download boot.iso from the repository and do a network install if you can't wait.
Don't sweat the small stuff.

After all these posts talking about how Mandriva is better than Ubuntu I decided to try it.
But I go to Mandriva's page only to find that to get an ISO of 2006 I have to give them money. Great
A free ISO of a distro the day it's released is also a feature. The lack of which is stopping me from even trying Mandriva now. This shouldn't be overlooked when wondering why Ubuntu is so popular.
