		Conectiva Linux, developed by Brazilian vendor Conectiva S.A., is the most popular distribution in South America, so it’s quite surprising that there aren’t more reviews of their products online.
		Conectiva Linux 9 is the most recent release from Conectiva S.A., barring some technology previews and the first two betas of their upcoming version 10.
		The Conectiva installation utility, mi (for Modular Installer) is a little different to the other Linux installation programs I’ve seen over the years; although it bears some similarity in construction to Debian’s.

	Breaking News--Mandrakesoft Buys Rival Linux Distro, Conectiva
		Conectiva has a pretty hefty Linux training business, too, and says that it now trains 15,000 people a year in conjunction with partners on how to use Linux in their organizations.
		Conectiva is probably the most influential Linux distributor in Latin America, and distributes its software in Portuguese, Spanish, and English.
		Mandrakesoft said in a statement that Conectiva was a profitable company and that it had been running at breakeven for the past two quarters, which seems to imply that the Conectiva was finding it harder to stay in the fl ink.

	NewsForge \| Conectiva: Resolver libraries vulnerability
		Conectiva: "A remote attacker who is able to send malicious DNS responses to vulnerable machines could exploit this vulnerability and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application making use of the vulnerable resolver library."
		Regarding the BIND 9.x packages distributed with Conectiva Linux 7.0 and 8, the "libbind" library is not included nor generated, which means that these packages are not vulnerable to this problem.
		The 8.2 BIND packages shipped with Conectiva Linux 6.0, on the other hand, use the libbind library in their utilities and are being upgraded to the 8.2.6 version which was released by ISC[3] to address this problem.

		The following is the full text of UnitedLinux member Conectiva's "Open Letter Response to the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Community" about some of the questions raised in this NewsForge article and many others published elsewhere about UnitedLinux's closed Beta release and whether or not it violates the GPL.
		Regardless, it is the position of Conectiva that we have acted in compliance with the GPL in running our closed beta tests.
		Thank you Conectiva for having the courtesy to post the NDA (and permission, I assume, since the NDA would normally cover itself once signed).

		Conectiva Linux 6.0 -- the first RPM-based distribution to support APT -- currently ships with it, and has some repositories that are available for use with APT.
		There are also some interesting reports of people having upgraded RH 5.2 or RH 6.x to Conectiva 6.0, after a little manual adjustments of some packages (I wouldn't recommend that procedure to anyone, but apparently it's doable).
