Sorry to see Mandriva(Mandrake) goes downhill :-|

I only hope that this sad story will not lead Mandriva in a dead end.

It could be it's salvation if Mandravia makes the right choices and moves in the right direction.

perhaps if mandriva moved to gnome, it would help to revive its fortunes. i can see that happening. when that time comes, i may try it out again.

I don't think it have anything to do which DE Mandriva uses, but the lack of direction, they need some goals or set of rules what and who they are and it seems that users of Mandriva also come to the same conclusion if you read the the diffrent forums.

i dont see how changing from KDE to gnome will change any attempts to "revive its fortunes." the change would drive more users away from it than it would attract

[ComplexNumber]

he change would drive more users away from it than it would attract we only have to look at ubuntu and kubuntu to see that thats certainly not the case.
it would be more in line with what the enterprise require from linux. kde just doesn't cut it in that respect.

Ubuntu (canoncal) should recruit Duval! Imagine what an asset he could be in terms of experince. Perhaps he could reinforce the kubuntu team.
