Mandrake is now Mandriva

Mandrake and Connectiva became the same company a little while ago. Today Mandrake soft announced that it is now calling itself Mandriva.

Connectiva gained support as an excellent español- and português-based distribution. Mandrake became popular because of wide hardware support, ease of installation, and the incorporation of KDE (the reason it split from RedHat).

I’m hoping for good things from Mandriva. I think it’s an excellent step toward a universal, non-lethally hard distribution of Linux.
