Enterprise Unix Roundup: Where's Mandriva?
Big news about Linux has come out of France in the past month or so.
In February, French automaker Peugeot Citroen announced it would be migrating 20,000 Windows desktops to Linux. Then, just last week, the French Parliament, which had already decided to shift its administrative systems to Linux, announced the finalization of those plans.
Which begs the question: Where was Mandriva, a commercial Linux distribution company based in France, during all this? Not, it seems, being installed in the halls of French legislature or Peugeot. The automaker's deployment will use Novell SUSE Linux. The Parliament systems will deploy Ubuntu.
Two major announcements, not a sign of Mandriva.
I am not especially big on nationalist bias, mind you.
