      I'm looking forward to "Hussy Ho" that should give Linux a certain sex appeal.

      Hah. Once they go past "Zany Zebra", I can't wait for Anty Aardvark Ate Apples. Followed by Brown Bear Brings Beer.

      Actually Ubuntu's first release was nicknamed "Dirty Sanchez", which was the source of that distribution's distinguished choice of color scheme.

    I'm afraid that even in the hands of a "pro" Photoshop has a hard time producing music...

    The Ubuntu Way of doing things ... is what was desperately missing within the Linux/OSS community.

    You mean a millionaire prepared to spend lots of his own money with no prospect of short-term return? Yeah probably. Maybe if Linux distros became even more like sports teams, we'd have cheerleaders as well!

      I was thinking along the lines of "Pirating Platypus"
      Maybe that would make the pirate searching a little bit harder for the *AA too.

    ...I certainly don't approve of the slashvertising of it before it's really even started. Vaporware is a BAD thing for Linux.

    Oh, good one! Now you've just blown *any* chance of us ever seeing Duke Nukem Forever come out for Linux...
