Who´s buying? One ad mentioned a simple ´merge´ the other suggests that Mandrake acquired Conectiva! So, what is the real thing under the hood? Conectiva is part of United Linux! So... Is Mandrake buying the Conectiva asset (which is considerable) or United Linux? Conectiva is present is all America, North to South. I´m not quite sure about Central America.

If they buy (or build) a company like Conectiva in Mexico, then they'll earn the entire LatinAmerica market. Unix is unknown at least in Mexico. Colleges and universities all run under Windows, and thus never teach programming under Unix. Mandrake would be wise to target this market as well.
