That wasn’t the reason for the name change. The name changed because
Mandrake merged with Conectiva, from Brazil.
The only thing I remember about Conectiva is that they created the
“apt4rpm” tool. At that time, RPM-based distros lagged behind Debian in
the ability to automatically resolve dependencies in a package you were
trying to install by downloading additional needed packages.
