It seems our favourite distro is going to change its name to _Mandriva_ (i.e., Mandrake+Conectiva), according to an article I have just read. The article says Mandrake bought the domains Mandriva.com and Mandriva.net. Conectiva bought the domain mandriva.com.br
whois mandriva.com whois mantiva.com
(might need to 'urpmi whois' first )
IRRC, there might've one or two others also. Speculation was that Mandrake registered those domains, shortly after the merger, on a "just in case" basis. Search 'mandriva' on a cooker ML archive to get the whole discussion. IIRC, Mantiva was the favorite.

And the latest newsletter says Mandrake is going "to incorporate elements of technology from Conectiva, particularly in the area of the smart package management software and some of Conectiva's kernel enhancements." I think that means apt-get...
Greg already did a good job of answering this, but you could also search cooker to see this discussion. And visit
