Mandrake, which became Mandriva Linux, is history, but it lives on through ROSA Linux, Mageia and OpenMandriva. See http://linuxbsdos.com/category/rosa-desktop; http://linuxbsdos.com/category/rosa-desktop; http://linuxbsdos.com/category/mageia; http://linuxbsdos.com/category/mageia; and http://linuxbsdos.com/category/openmandriva http://linuxbsdos.com/category/openmandriva Mandrake Linux was the third distro I used, after Red Hat and Linux PowerPC 2000. Btw, I still have my 2-set Mandrake Linux 8.1 CD.

    The same could be said for the rest of the distros listed. For example, ROSA Linux is now 'Independent' according to DistroWatch: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=rosa http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=rosa

      > ROSA Linux is now 'Independent' according to DistroWatch ROSA Linux and those I listed became "independent" because Mandriva went bust. PCLinuxOS forged it's own part while Mandriva was still active.

        That was supposed to be PATH, not "part".
