I would like to wish good luck to Gaƫl Duval in his new project. Sometimes it is good to leave old baggage behind and start anew. And it's a good sign that he ackowledges some of the problems Mandriva has: quality control first and foremost, since for a distro it is an essential prerequisite; user base grooming next.

Sadly it is hard to know what Ulteo is: there is only an "about" page with some vague information, and the download link is not working (it seems that the hosting company is not happy with the traffic load). Let us hope that Duval will now find the time to find a new service provider, and tell us more details about the project. You know, quality control and user base grooming...

From what little there is, it looks like another live-cd distro?

Good luck

From the animatation on the linked site, it appears to be a way to control your pet dog with a computer. (sorry!)
