Fedora 17 Named "Beefy Miracle" http://ur1.ca/5ezr3
-
Actually it's F17 "Cobra". ;-)
-
I guess this is why Mark Shuttleworth doesn't open Ubuntu naming up to community voting :-)
-
Yeah, right. Because "Oneiric Ocelot" and "Precise Pangolin" are so much better names..... He fails almost as hard by his totalitarian self.
-
@lxnews Honestly, of the names in the running this time, I actually preferred "Beefy Miracle". They were _all_ a bit crap.
-
@lxnews Also, typo in the first sentence: s/a bit/a bid/
-
Not as crap as Beefy Miracle. The Fedora community is becoming to inside joke focused for my taste. I am seriously thinking of going Debian.
-
I know I am behind on my Linux Outlaws episodes but I thought you had more or less moved over to Arch?
-
I totally agree. I'd make him release manager in a heartbeat.

Things I care less about when choosing a distro: {}

You don't understand. It is not about the name but what the process of arriving there is indicative of.
-
Yeah, I still don't care. I'm a simple fella. I don't really invest any time in the community so it's not an issue for me.
-
That is extremely shortsighted because those are the people putting together (or messing up) your desktop. Even if you just use it.
-
I'm ok with that. I just wan't to use a computer. If involving myself in all the shit I see bouncing around the linux group on here ...

Obviously that was tongue in cheek cos I'm too poor for Macs and too stupid for plan9.

I bet it doesn't stop you from complaining when stuff breaks. I personally like to be a bit more responsible.
-
@fabsh I'll probably have a dig at the people that insist it works. But, no, I don't consider myself a moaner.
-
@fabsh moreover, I reject the implication that it makes me irresponsible.

@fabsh I will concede that I can understand why you would care about this. But I'm not gonna lose any sleep about it.

You do realise Beefy Miracle is a reference to the 1981 Ashes win by the English Cricket Team?
-
Isn't that like saying "using GNU is bad because the name is a stupid recursive acronym, which is a joke only geeks find remotely funny"?
-
Or that Gimp project, with that stupid, short-sighted name.

Because nothing says serious like picking release names from the Toy Story film series.
