No, it's NOT Apr 1.
Mandrake has changed its name to Mandriva. (???) This is after they acquired Conectiva.
I wonder who came up with a name like this. I suppose it must have been some Emacs junkie trying out an M-x dissociated-press on the merger legalese.
The press release is here: http://www.mandriva.com/company/press/pr?n=/pr/corporate/2551
The new Mandrakesoft webpage: http://www.mandriva.com/
I'd prefer remaining an innocent bystander :)

The facts expressed here belong to everybody, the opinions to me. The distinction is yours to draw...
Hmmmm..
Its a clear summation of Mandrake and Connectiva.
I found this comment from their website very interesting:
......By adopting a new name, we eliminate the liability attached to the Mandrakesoft name .....
No idea what they mean by it...
