As you probably know, Mandriva is no longer the old Mandrake but is now 
a combination of Mandrake, Conectiva and Lycoris.

Ah, so Mandriva is going and doing a "SuSE" then :-)? SuSE's old and 
intelligent brigade has been deserting also - or haven't you heard about 
that? - and Novell is also going down the financial gurgler. When they 
discovered (?)last year that SuSE actually made some money for them they 
were flabbergasted - which just goes to show how well they did their 
homework when they decided to buy SuSE.

Cheers.
