I think we should not wait for people to raise questions about this, or
|
86 |
it will be too late. When the announce of Mageia was done, I have seen
|
87 |
a lot of people comparing Mandriva/Mageia with RedHat/Fedora, although
|
88 |
the announcement was quite clear that it is not the same.
|
89 |
|
90 |
If we don't explain this clearly and don't insist on it, a lot of people
|
91 |
will immediately think it is the same as RedHat/Fedora, or that Mandriva
|
92 |
and Mageia will merge.
