Mandriva Live/Install CD - One

[Judland]

You know, this is one of the reasons why I've always had a soft spot for Mandrake/Mandriva ever since I started with them a few years back.

Today I e-mailed their customer service dept. and told them about the warm reception our LUG members had for Mandriva One, after I demonstrated it to them. I then asked Mandriva if they could do something that might help entice our LUG members to perhaps purchase Mandriva boxed sets or club memberships.

Sure enough, I get a reply and am told that if members from our office LUG wish to purchase software or services from Mandriva, they'd get a discount.

Talk about a company that doesn't mind making a deal with potential clientele.

When I first entered the world of Linux, Mandrake was my stepping stone and I had to call upon their tech. support a couple of times. Every time I did, I really felt like I was dealing with a company that cared. Things haven't seemed to change in the past 3 or 4 years.

Good job, Mandriva. I give you one gold star for customer service.
