0.1 Homer -- This is an allusion to the fact that drinking beer is cool, along with drooling and nuclear power. 0.2 Vega -- Vega is the 5th brightest star in the sky. Arch was aiming to take the 5th slot from distrowatch. At this time, the 5th spot was held by SuSe. This is a statement that germans like beer, and since beer is cool, we too can beat the germans (at liking beer). 0.3 Firefly -- Fireflies come out in the evening, which is a great time to drink beer. Fireflies also provide bioluminescence..which is damn cool (aside: if you are exposed to nuclear power--homer reference--you will glow too). 0.4 Dragon -- Dragons hearken back to a time of mead and rich dark beers that were very meal-like in the constitution. Dragons, knights, swords, and drinking. Good times. 0.5 Nova -- Chevy Nova obviously. How much wanton debauchery has occured in the back of chevy Novas over the years? I bet alot..much of it attributed to beer most likely. 0.6 Widget -- " A small mechanical device or control; a gadget." so says answers.com. So..a widget could be anything small and mechanical. There are lots of small mechanical things used in beer production. Valves, small pipes, dials, knobs, its all there. Again..a possible reference to beer, this time the production and maybe dispensing of it. (Note: nuclear power also uses small mechanical devices). 0.7 Wombat -- A departure from the beer theme. Likely someone got too drunk, and ended up watching the discovery channel..a special on australia/wombats. Drawn by their inherent coolness factor (which was made more cool by being drunk), the name was chosen. (note: wombats are australian. australians love to drink..possible beer connection). 0.8 ?????? The pattern has something to do with beer/nuclear power. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
