Linux 3.12 Codenamed "Suicidal Squirrel"

Posted by timothy on from the ssd-drive-just-couldn't-live-with-itself dept.

First time accepted submitter noahfecks writes "After the Linux 3.11 kernel was codenamed 'Linux for Workgroups' in memory of Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Linus Torvalds is using 'Suicidal Squirrel' as the Linux 3.12 kernel codename." Seems only fitting. (The list of kernel names should reflect this soon.)

    Why on earth would you be telling your boss the CODENAME of the KERNEL of the distro you would be pitching, are you brain damaged or something?

    It's just a code name. Is something like windows longhorn that much better?
    Also, no enterprise distro is going to announce they are using suicidal squirrel, so I doubt the boss will see it.
