Mandrakesoft Changes Name to Mandriva

Posted by Zonk on from the shiny-new-namespace dept.

joestar writes "Following its recent merger with Conectiva, Mandrakesoft has decided to change its name to 'Mandriva' for two reasons: "1. The recent Mandrakesoft - Conectiva merger calls for a new identity that better represents the combination of two key companies and their global presence. 2. The long-winding trademark lawsuit with Hearst Corporation has reached a point where we decided it is more reasonable for us to move forward.". Mandrake is dead, long life to Mandriva!"

    From CNN:

    Excommunication is one option, particularly for the handful of people who aren't cardinals who will have access to the red-hatted "princes of the church." They include regular priests who hear confessions, two medical doctors on call in case of emergency and staff who will serve meals and clean up after the cardinals.
    Wouldn't it make more sense to provide toilets instead? We live in the 21st century for chrissakes!
