Pacific HiTech Inc has officially changed its name to that of its Linux distribution, TurboLinux. Already a powerful player in Asia and especially in Japan, the company has been ramping up its North American operations for some time. Our name change reflects our larger, global role beyond the Pacific Rim, explained CEO Cliff Miller. Meanwhile in Europe, MandrakeSoft SA has announced the release of Linux-Mandrake 6.0 (Venus). It’s a Red Hat-like distribution with pre-configured applications aimed especially at the novice user. It’s available for download via FTP in both traditional and ISO 9660 image formats. The latter can be burned directly onto a CD-ROM.
