Breaking News: Mandrakesoft Buys Conectiva

France's Mandrakesoft SA plans to acquire Brazil's largest Linux vendor,
Conectiva SA, both companies said in a joint statement yesterday.

Both companies are founding members of the Linux Core Consortium, an
organization formed to develop technology that would potentially make it easier
for software makers to build products for multiple distributions of the
open-source operating system. The LCC is developing a runtime environment and
software development kit that would standardize programming of software to the
interfaces of the Linux kernel. The combined company of Mandrakesoft and
Conectiva plans to build its next corporate releases on top of the LCC
implementation.
