[Ale-study] LPIC-1 possibilities

[William Bagwell]

Trivia some may find interesting: Gaël Duval was one of the founders of 
Mandrake and shortly after the merger with Conectiva and name change to 
Mandriva he was ousted in some sort of power struggle, he then went on to 
found Ulteo.

Never fooled with the software once I discovered it was not going to be a new 
distro, but continued to follow them from the side lines. (Too lazy to 
un-subscribe) Learned more about what it actually *does* from this thread 
than seven years of Ulteo newsletters.
