Post #178,166 by drewk 10/7/04 8:40:12 AM Reply	Actually I agree Having themed names for successive releases is childish and prevents the software from being taken seriously in the business world. That's like expecting people to spend real money on something called "Chicago" or "Cairo"; or "Willammette", "Nocona", "Tumwater", "Lindenhurst" or "Dobson"; or "Banias", "LaGrande", "Tanglewood", "Tulsa" or "Vanderpool". Oh wait, they do that. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

Only those yearning to be considered part of the cognoscenti continue to use project names after the brand name is made public.

Post #178,201 by drewk 10/7/04 11:01:01 AM Reply	Have you ever tried to buy Woody? Nope. Because it's not sold that way. The people selling Debian call it things like Xandros 2.5 and Linspire 4.5. What's your point? === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
