Article: Desktop and Mandrake

Desktop Dreams in the Wake of MandrakeSoft's Bankruptcy By Timothy R. Butler Editor-in-Chief, Open for Business January 15, 2003, 23:14:40 EST http://www.ofb.biz/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=193 Despite the title and the title of journal itself, the article is quite interesting. (It even talks about Free Software and GNU/Linux not just about the kernel itself. :) ) Some lines: Myth #1: GNU/Linux was Never Intended for Desktop Usage Myth #2: GNU/Linux isn't Intuitive Enough Myth #3: Free Software Just Can't Create a Desktop While it probably isn't generally advisable to use a bankrupt company as an example of how something can succeed, I do suggest that this company is exactly that. Prior to the arrival of outside management that operated the company from 2000-2001, MandrakeSoft was a profitable company. Yes, that is right. Many people assume that no GNU/Linux distribution was profitable until Red Hat's black quarter announced last month, but that isn't true at all. Furthermore, since the original co-founders retook the company from the supposed "experts," the company has again moved towards profitability. Thus, it is my opinion that not only is the GNU/Linux desktop going to stick around (even if it doesn't get much respect), but that MandrakeSoft has proven a great example of what Free Software can be. Whether or not the company clears its bankruptcy reorganization -- and I sincerely hope it does -- it has helped to clear out all of the myths I listed above. Even if the company fails to recover, its management's wonderful commitment to the Free Software community means that its work will never be for naught.
