Memories

in #ubuntu8 years ago

Many moons ago when I was a very naughty boy I produced this picture. Little did I know that ten plus years later there would be an internal purge.

Ten team points for the person who spots the logo change.

Hmm... That's a hard one. I haven't really followed all the distribution fights. So the Debians are down... and the RPMs are villians... and I use Mageia, because I never got around to leave Mandrake-Linux and its children... so I suddenly feel villainous too.


I still mourn Mandrake. It was a great product and viable revenue stream concept in my opinion. The problem was nobody wanted to pay for the support. Funny how Red Hat managed it.

I was fond of it too. I even paid a small monthly subscription to support it. But not many did. Would have been fine if the French Government had thrown out Microsoft and had used Mandrake instead. I remember hoping for that.

Then things went downhill and I just kept tagging along, until it dropped out and became this small grassroot distro that is eternally after it's schedule. But I am using it now, and it works for me and my family.

It must be Arch-linux with a new logo???

I drink to forget.

LOL... very nice depiction of the great distribution wars.
