Mandriva LE was a glimpse of future and mandrive announcemnts proved it right. So, Mandriva will be a new player in the market.

No... because Debian only contains 6 letters. :)

They'd be better off using: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server

Then you could just a convenient acroynm.. like:

MCLRHELAS

to refer to Mandrake Connectiva Lycoris Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server :)
