Re: Mandriva
Yep. I'm quite enjoying it, myself. But then, I don't miss too much Mandriva's tools. Thought I would, but I just... don't. I would indeed leave those if I had the cash to buy Mandriva though, right there with the distro.
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.

Re: Mandriva
You can buy it for One dollar I guess. Running it will be the problem. (Paying all those people every month).

Re: Mandriva
It has reached Distrowatch now:

And the meeting confirmed the desperate situation of Mandriva company. It looks like a fork is coming closer:

Re: Mandriva
Update:
The distro is updated and fully functional. Mandriva is financed (and bought) by Russians. This keeps it an European distro which is good I guess.It will be exiting to see the direction Mandriva takes. If it is strongly supported It probably has the greatest potential of all distros.
If it is "business as usual" Mageia is an option, for the "die hard" Mandriva users.

Re: Mandriva
I have installed Nessus on Mandriva.This is a fantastic tool and it works well. (I have not managed to get it working in Arch yet)

Re: Mandriva
How did you install it to Arch, from the site, or from AUR?
Of course, it may be also that it's going to work easier in Mandriva, as it depends on rpmextract in Arch.
Code: Select all
:( yaourt nessus
1 aur/nessus 4.4.0-2 (38)
Vulnerability scanner
2 aur/nessus-client 4.0.2-1 (21)
Nessus client for nessus security scanner.
==> Enter n° of packages to be installed (ex: 1 2 3 or 1-3)
==> -------------------------------------------------------

Re: Mandriva
Eh Not sure I understand the But here?
Free TP and maybe a more pragmatic approach (ONE) later seems OK? If it works I welcome it, as long as no dependencies are built up that would enable MS or Oracle to break Mandriva's neck later on.

Re: Mandriva
| More info about the release here Mandriva is more or less sticking to the game plan and timetables that have been published earlier. Mandriva 2011 beta2 contains LibreOffice 3.3.0, and the Kernel 2.6.38.3, systemd 24, og gcc 4.6.0.+ much more! One might get the feeling that this predictable behavior partly has something to do with Mageia. If this is the case, then Mageia already has contributed to Linux in a positive way. If not; Mandriva has just improved in this aspect. In both cases you and me are the winners. |
