Mandrakesoft plans to acquire Conectiva. Both Mandrakesoft and
Conectiva develop, publish, maintain, and distribute the GNU-Linux
operating system in packages called Linux distributions. Along with
Novell-SUSE Linux and Red Hat Linux, Mandrake-Conectiva is in the
top-tier of Linux distribution providers.“In Part 1 of this series of articles, we compared how
Mandrake-Conectiva, Novell-SUSE, and Red Hat stack up against each

values, revenue to market value ratios, price-earning (P/E) ratios,
and employee productivity.
