The baby is baptised and the name shall be OpenMandriva. There were 68 votes - somewhere - and the majority vote was OpenMandriva which generously was accepted by OMA.

So now the baby only has to be born.....

I have been pitching Drake or Drak. The 1st one is from the good old days of Mandrake and Drak for the configuration command. That will sound more proprietary. Since is Open Source the command is used on other distros, therefore is free publicity. Whoever uses Drakconfig will look like fake and a poser.
