The Mandrake name was from before my time. Mandrake 8.2 was my 
introduction to Linux in 2002, and with two exceptions I've stayed with 
Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia all that time. I had a brief flirtation with 
Fedora Core 4, and I tried PCLinuxOS when Mandriva was going under the 
second time, but didn't care much for either.
