    which seems to be "Spend Mark Shuttleworth's Money". I'm sure we're all enjoying the free (as in beer, if I must) ride.

    I vote for Horny Hedgehog. Or Horny Hyrax. Anything Horny, really.

  3. So Vista can be renamed Greedy Gorilla? by jkrise · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just so we compare apples to apples... considering the bloated h/w needs for Vista, and considering it comes form the 800lb gorilla.. Greedy Gorilla sounds very 'apt'.

    I think Vista articles on Slashdot must come with a Greedy Gorilla icon... given that we're seeing several articles a week already.

    Ubuntu seems cool, however I will be waiting for the Don Imus sponsored version: Nappy Nigger.

    Also, when is the Crazy Cracker release going to be out? That one should be cool as it will be based around KKKde.

    I wonder if there is, consciencely or unconsciencely, some message to the Novell folks


    My theory is that Mark was editing Goatse using the Gimp, Gutsy Gibbon is the nearest he could come to Goatse Gimp.

    Sources indicated that, in accordance with the theme, the next project will be named Busty Baboon.

    Nappy Nigger [...] Crazy Cracker
    And the release that'll get them both excited (despite their differences) just so happens to be: Busty Bimbo.

    Hungry Hippo.

    Of course if they'd take 3 word names, Hungry Hungry Hippo will work too.
