What happened to Mandrake?


I've been away from Mandrake Linux for a bit! Though having decided to go back to it I'm now a bit confused! For a start I can't find the site it to download it appears to have been taken over by VeriSign Inc and whats Mandriva?

You would've thought they'd hold onto those old domains and keep a re-direct page up there somewhere. I mean surely the renewal fees for a few domains would be nothing compared to the loss of business from people who, quite naturally, conclude when the domain is gone that they have gone out of business.
