I've been following along and I have to say I WILL NOT recommend Mandriva to anyone. I won't slight them, I just won't mention them. I'm sorry, but what happened was slimey and typical suits.
And if you think some lame ass explaination such as this is going to smooth things over, you are mistaken, Francois Bancilhon, Mr CEO, commander of the suit brigade at the former first company in community Linux. I think you should have gone out of your way to show some tact, but since you didn't, lay in your own filth.
Reputation is everything and it's going to take A LONG time for the community to forget.
If the board is interested in fixing this mess there at Mandriva, Francois Bancilhon needs to be layed off as well or Mr. Duval gets some kind of heavy compensation, like his job back with a decent raise or a huge settlement like a cool mil or two.
Until then, G'bye Mandriva (change that name btw, it's really bad.)
PS: I started Linux on Mandrake 8.0, been using the community edition ever since. I'm looking elsewhere now.
