Mandrake Linux is once again in need of money. This time, they say that they won’t be able to release a new version unless they can raise cash and complete their Increase of Capital.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the fate of most open source ventures. They have a club through which people can contribute to the company, but obviously it’s not enough. I hope they can raise the money since Mandrake Linux is a nice distro. It would be a pity to see them go bankrupt.
