So the name "ROCK Linux" wouldn't fit very well anymore .... Also "ROCK Linux" fits too well into the common "Foobar Linux" naming scheme for linux distributions - so it's no wonder that it is so hard to promote ROCK Linux as "built kit for linux/whatever distributions" instead of "yet another linux distribution". I'd suggest renaming the project to something different. My personal preference would be something like "Open ROCK". Suggestions, thoughts and feedback in any form is very welcome. So let's the flamewar^H^H discussion begin... yours, - clifford PS: The topic came up the first time at this years developers meeting and we wanted to discuss it in detail at 20C3. But since we also do plan to print t-shirts, it would be better to have this dicussion before printing a few hundret t-shirts promoting "ROCK Linux". -- | Clifford Wolf /-----=[ www.clifford.at ]==[ Tel: +43-699-10063494 ]=-\ |--------------/ diestartseite.at vocat.cc =[ Fax: +43-2235-42788-4 ]=-| |-=[ EDEN Creations -- www.edenevents.at ]==[ IRC: www.freenode.net ]=-| \==[ www.rocklinux.org ]===[ www.rocklinux.net ]===[ www.linbit.com ]==/ 2B OR (NOT 2B) That is the question.
