Interview with Gaël Duval of MandrakeSoft

  Date:Mar 28 2003

How is MandrakeSoft holding up these days financially? What is more prefered by MandrakeSoft, box purchases or Club memberships?

Gaël Duval: The business has been growing regularly for two years, and it's still growing. We are more or less at break-even now, but it remains fragile. 9.1 sales and club subscriptions are going to be key. Actually purchasing a Mandrake Pack at MandrakeStore is good, but it's still better for us to get a Club subscription. Actually we've started to move all the business model towards something subscription-based. It's far more efficient than trying to sell something that most Mandrake users just... download :-)
