Definitely. As an avowed Mandr{ake,iva} fan, I'm particularly intrigued
by this development. I'm curious to see what bits from Lycoris end up in
the next release ("Mandriva 2006"), which will also be the first release
to incorporate Connectiva's technology. I guess it's about time I threw
together a box to run Cooker on, just to keep an eye on it ... ;)

There's a bit more on the acquisition at NewsForge:
