Should have been Gnarley Gnu. That's what I wanted.

If H...H... (or I...I...) is to be a LTS release, I hope we have a more elegant name. Let's not provide yet another opportunity for those other distro kids to poke fun at us in the playground ("Porky Pig" and "Farty Falcon" are getting on my nerves.)

I suggest we avoid ajectives and animals with obvious associations with human "disabilities" - Hairy, Harelipped or Hyperventilating Hippos, Hyenas, or Hamsters would be out. As would Impatient, Impotent or Intolerent Irukandji Jellyfish.

Something that implies power, elegance, joi de vie, pure class and super coolness is required.

Heroic Hammerhead? Imaculate Impala?

Yeah. And another thing - so far we've had several mammals, one bird and an amphibian (what is an eft anyway?). When do fish get their day in the sun? Is Ubuntu anti-fish? Can someone recommend a pro-fish distro? And what about invertebrates? Linux is so vertebrate-centric sometimes. Gorgeous Grasshopper?

an eft is an electronic funds transfer, but that's not important right now. . .

Ya, like kids use Ubuntu.

We give 'em Edubuntu, while the Ubuntu forums become ladies night. Aaawww yeeeaaaa.


Anyway, how about Happy Hampster, with a cute little hampster logo? Won't that attract more women (or, in a sense, furries)?

use a name
