Skolelinux as a brand name is well-established and the dual name is mostly there to satisfy situations when people do not know the heritage of the Latin word. Please see this link for an overview: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/skole - It clearly shows how widely used the word 'Skole' is in terms of education. I strongly object any change of name. -- (o_ / With regards, | / Anders Kringstad - <akai at skolelinux dot no> //\-X Leader, Free software in schools Norway (FRISK) - <www.skolelinux.no> V_/_ Leader, Trondheim Linux User Group (TLUG) - <www.tlug.no> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
