Mandriva closes shop
http://uk.businessinsider.com/mandriva-goes-out-of-business-2015-5?r=USThat's a shame
In a "sad" event for people who love Linux, French tech company Mandriva is being liquidated, according to a notice posted by the company.
Although Mandriva generated €553,000 in revenue in 2013, that wasn't enough to make it thrive in 2015.
For decades, Mandriva has been trying to take on Microsoft Windows with a Linux version of a desktop PC. Its claim to fame was a deal in 2007 with the Nigerian government in which it beat out Microsoft to put its flavor of Linux on 17,000 PCs used by Nigerian schoolchildren.
