Subject: Mandriva response to Ubuntu's FAQ

Ga?l Duval, founder of Mandriva has created a kind of response/spoof on 
Mark Shuttleworth's Ubuntu FAQ.

The Mandriva version is found 
<http://www.indidea.org/gael/en/gael-answers.php>here:

An example:

>From Ubuntu FAQ:

   Will brown always be the default desktop colour?

   Unlikely that ANYTHING will be static forever, given that we expect
   Ubuntu to be around a long time

   Our current plan is that the Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.04 if we hit our
   April 2006 release date goal) will be the last of this first "set"
   of releases. So post-Dapper we have the opportunity to define a new
   "feel" or overarching theme. It would be unlikely to be... blue. But
   it might be substantially different to the current Human theme. For
   the moment, let's stay focused on the road to Dapper, polish up the
   existing Human theme to the max for that, and then break new ground
   post-Dapper. 



>From Mandriva FAQ:

   *Why is the default desktop in Mandriva Linux blue?*

   Because blue is the color of her eyes as well as the color of oceans
   and sky.

   Blue is often the color of children's rooms because it cools them.
   Blue certainly has a connexion with human minds.

   *Will blue always be the default desktop colour?*

   While brown is currently a fashionable color on the desktop, blue is
   for sure part of Mandriva's color scheme since early days. Anyway,
   some of you have noticed that the Discovery version of Mandriva
   Linux provides an island picture as default background.

   Last but not least, we provide a feature which lets users actually
   *change* the color of their desktop!
