Mandrakelinux and Conectiva announce merger
The biggest news this week is the merger of Mandrakesoft with the #1
South American Linux vendor, Conectiva. Mandrakesoft is buying all of
Conectiva's shares in a stock swap which will create a new, truly
international Linux vendor. Conectiva's enterprise connections and
know-how in South America and particularly Brazil will give a strong
boost to Mandrakesoft's enterprise development, and its research and
development abilities will combine with Mandrakesoft's to produce a
strong source of open source innovations. Decisions have not yet been
made on the form of the product line-up that the new company will
produce, nor on the name it will take, but we'll be sure to bring the
news to you as soon as it's available. You can read the announcement
of the merger here.
