|---|
Mandrakesoft, hoping to serve the dual purposes of repositioning itself in the Linux market and throwing the monkey of its back in a trademark infringement battle with Hearst Publishing, announced last week that it has changed its name to Mandriva.
"Mandriva, a company name that combines MandrakeSoft and Conectiva, is an opportunity to re-invent the company through a new brand name," Stacey Quandt, senior business analyst, Robert Francis Group, told LinuxInsider.
