>From Slashdot:

"As most of the Mandriva employees working on the Linux distribution
were laid off due to the liquidation of Edge-IT (a subsidiary of
Mandriva SA) and trust in the company has diminished, the development
community -- including the core developers -- has decided to fork the
project (http://www.mageia.org/). The new Linux distribution, named
Mageia , will be managed by a not-for-profit organization that will be
set up in the coming days. There are already many people that have
decided to follow the fork, but the people behind it are still
welcoming any help offered in the various tasks related to
establishing the new distribution."
