His article discusses things like: booting, rescuing, installing on HDD, tips'n'tricks, etc... A nice read for everyone interested in Linux (and Knoppix in particular ;)."

If backing up my own opinion because somebody else decided to call people that agree "a bunch of morons" is flame bait, then drench me in gasoline and slap me on a hook!

That would be like changing the name of a food that that has the name of a country in it that you're not happy with because they chose not to support your plan to start an illegal war. Oh wait.... Nevermind

  He's saying the government tried to change the name, not you. Obviously he's not agreeing with your argument and then laughing at you.

  I don't recall any laws passed requiring a nationwide change away from the name "french fries"
  
  Although I did see a lot of news coverage when the congressional cafeteria made such a change.
  
  Amazing how the television news (which exists primarily for ratings (in the name of luring in more advertising dollars)) sometimes self-propogates the news stories. Oh, wait....it isn't. It's surprising that people still fall for it.
  
  Of course, I also changed away from the same news channel this morning (before falling asleep) because it looked like they were going to spend the next three hours covering footage of the alleged Brittany Spears wedding. Fair and balanced.
  
  Everybody's got an agenda. Some take less to see through (such as those that think the patriotic duty is to remove the french from fries) Even so, I still find it hard to believe that there's any justification to avoid debian or it's derivatives just because they use a name from a disney-distributed flick, at least not when there's more reasonable things to complain about.
