The product life of Mandrakelinux products has not been publicly disclosed, and as a result customers may have been forced into quick migrations to newer products to continue receiving security and bug fix updates. We believe that customers should be able to plan migrations to newer distributions well in advance of their discontinuation date.
..
With the release of Mandrakelinux 9.1, a lifetime cycle that customers can easily anticipate was put into place. Mandrakesoft will provide 12 months of "desktop" updates for distributions, and 18 months of "base" updates for distributions. This means that applications such as window managers, desktop environments, browsers, etc. will have a 12 month package update life, while applications such as the kernel, Apache, and other "base" components will have a package update life of 18 months. At certain times, Mandrakesoft may choose to extend updates support for certain versions of Mandrakelinux.
The following is a schedule of when updates support will be dropped for products that are currently receiving updates:
Product: Mandrakelinux 10.0
Desktop updates: March 31, 2005
Base updates: September 31, 2005
All users of these products should plan to upgrade before the noted termination of support dates in order to continue receiving updates.

(Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official izašao pre otprilike pola godine: negde u aprilu 2004. !!)
hahahah, znači 2005., mogu da skidam novu verziju Mandrake (opa miki, 3 CDa, šta je to?) ili mogu da se slikam. I sad zamisli kompanije treba to da rade? Svakih godinu i po ajmo nova verzija da se instalira? Pa to je i za kućne korisnike užas.. Pričajte nam o tome kako se forsiraju korisnici na upgrade.
