Mandriva Linux, formerly Mandrake Linux, on Sept. 14 will ship a major upgrade to its business server-oriented Linux distribution.

The company claims that Mandriva Corporate Server 4 is fully compliant with the LSB (Linux Standard Base), and therefore should have interoperability with products from other LSB-compliant vendors.

Mandriva was once best known for its popular community-driven Linux.

Since 2005 though, CEO François Bancilhon has been pointing the company towards the business market.
