User friendliness is what Mandriva is known for and IMHO they do a lot better job of it than that U distro thingy. Hopefully with the new ownership their finances won't be in the Linux/tech press and the quality of their distro will be. The only distro that may have outdone Mandriva for ease of use is Pardus 2011. That one is impressive. |

caitlyn - I also really enjoyed Pardus, but I had difficulty finding a software repo mirror that's not slow as molasses to access from where I live. Perhaps I should look again. :/ |

I'm really looking forward to the upcoming fork...the community fork. Magia or something....maybe magenta. No, it's magnesia....no wait... Linux naming schemes honestly need some improvement. Regardless, I am looking forward to a stable release. h |

It's been a real problem in general for linux: really cool software with dorky names. Sort of the opposite of microsoft, which has really dorky software with cool names. |

You could reclaim Bob for open-source. Maybe GNU/Bob ?? |

I just cannot get the image out of my mind of when Pitor in UserFriendly coded Clippy the Helpful Paperclip into vi. "It looks like you're writing an extortion letter. Can I help?" |

Microsoft didn't take all names yet, some are "up for picking". http://www.britishcolumbia.com/Ski/ Hamlock, Manning, Harper, Silver Star, Revel Stoke, Salmo, Timothy; they're all up for taking. I'm pretty sure Windows 8's codename will be "Troll". |
