So it's 1:30 AM here, and when that happens random thoughts fill my head. Tonight's thought is...there seems to be a pattern in the names of popular Linux distributions. Just take a look...

Mandriva
Ubuntu (including Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Fluxbuntu)
Fedora
Solaris (not linux but whatever)
Sabayon
Debian

Catch it yet? They all have three syllables.

Kind of stupid I know, but I'm bored and tired.

Nothing special about those names, at least I don't think so...

I found a pattern! (My college education is paying off.)

We are in the same time zone by the way. I am in PA.
