I think it is pretty clear that mandrakes management WAS a lot like that.  
They are now out on their ear and the new management is very focused on 
making a great distribution for the desktop and server.  They have been 
very upfront, lately, on their finances and plans for the future.  
Unfortunately, it looks like they will run out of money a couple of months 
before the go cash flow positive.
