Mandriva is being forked into a project called Mageia by former Mandriva employees that were laid off:
Mandriva Fork Announced by Former Employees
The future of Mandriva is unknown
I have already friended them on Facebook. I wish them all well. Mandriva has always been #1 in hardware detection and very good at pre-configuration of the WM. I hope Mageia can keep that moving forward.
I am a fan. I wanted to support them and bought a Mandriva licence last year. Still have the old release 7.0 disks on the shelf. I hope they weather the storms of change.
