You mean the Mandriva site? ;-)

Who in the blue hell thought that it was a good idea to use that name?!? I 
love the comment on slashdot about it sounding like the name of a tranny 
stripper...

Its pretty cool, at least on the cli. The smart-gui looks/works crappy 
compared to synaptic though. Its all written by the same guys at Conectiva 
that ported apt to rpm, with the added bonuses of being able to handle damn 
near any repository metadata format (apt, yum, etc) and not tank on multiarch 
(x86_64/i386 combo) systems like apt does.
