<PRE>><i>
</I>><i> I agree with most everything said
</I>><i>
</I>><i> However i must add we should not forget the people to whose i count myself:
</I>><i> Between geek and non computer literate, who use the system for work, no
</I>><i> games, no fancy, but reliability, repairability, and ease of use is
</I>><i> essential.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Mandriva is perfect for us: easy to set up, powerful and working
</I>configuration
><i> tools... well you know it all.
</I>><i> There are actually appearing a range of Linux tech software, here is what i
</I>><i> plan to soon add in my electronic workshop:: <A HREF="http://www.saleae.com/home/,">http://www.saleae.com/home/,</A>
</I>><i> <A HREF="http://spec.de/.">http://spec.de/.</A> I do almost all work in Linux and soon all. Usability and
</I>><i> reliability is what matters for us and Mandriva has it, and so will Mageia,
</I>><i> and it should be marketed like this for this segment.
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> There may be many segments
</I>><i>
</I>><i> A. The masses who only want "a computer"
</I>><i>
</I>><i> B. Serious users that want reliable system and *can* do some system
</I>><i> configuration but no not want to waste too much time on it. System is a work
</I>><i> house, and the user is willing to pay some monetary support, i.e
</I>><i> subscription.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> C. geeks that want to tweak whatever. May want to participate in
</I>development.
><i>
</I>><i> D. Server users: combination of B&C
</I>><i>
</I>><i> E. Broad installations in schools and offices: combination of A & B
</I>><i>
</I>><i> F. Game section is special, together with audio/video editing, streaming,
</I>><i> creation etc. Maybe create someting like artistx, possibly by task-gaming,
</I>><i> task-videoedit etc package(s).
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> We need to find some directions for development
</I>><i>
</I>><i> For A: broad hardware support, flash live system, good installers, short
</I>><i> beautiful manual/guide
</I>><i>
</I>><i> For B: Keep on building on drak tools, maintain a wealthy forum and wiki.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> For C: Good system documentation, source code handling, bugzilla, developer
</I>><i> channels, developer apprentice guidance
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Yes i think we can just head on development from where we forked, but work
</I>on
><i> branding, marketing, documentation, communication :)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Just make sure we technically actually only have one system that is easily
</I>><i> configurable by i.e task-packages! (the packages can not only change what
</I>><i> programs are installed, but also the visual appearance)
</I>
interesting... graham, can we add this to Target Market page?
