Let me take this opportunity to congratulate you personally for all the effort you put into achieving this major victory. I could appreciate myself all the difficulty in trying to steer FLISOL, the largest Free Software Install Fest in the world, distributed over 200+ cities in Latin America, towards installing only Free Software. Thank you for making it happen on at least one site! > Today I realized it was very difficult to explain that this distro > has another kernel. Hmm... Interesting. I hadn't realized that the fact that Linux-libre, spoken in Spanish, might come across as “Linux, which is Free”. > It would be easier have another name for the kernel. Would it make sense to rename this project to, say Librenux, which hopefully doesn't have this problem in Spanish, and that would rather sound a bit like “Free us!”? > It would be nice to use the names proposed for the linux-libre pet. I'm not sure it's good to have this overlap. Anyhow... I just thought of a few other names for our pet, but it will take some artistic work: http://www.quickbabynames.com/meaning-of-Freeda.html The name Freeda has the following meaning: One who is peaceful. Hmm... Fitting, but not ideal. http://www.quickbabynames.com/meaning-of-Libbey.html Freedom. It is unusual for this name to be used in times of peace and prosperity. Instead, this name tends to be used during revolutionary periods. Sounds good, huh? :-) Libby would work, too, but it's already taken in the free software namespace for an implementation of the BASIC language. Can anyone turn the Freetz drawing into that of a female penguin? (And how does one tell a female penguin from a male one, anyway? :-) If we stick to a male penguin, we could name him Freesko http://www.quickbabynames.com/meaning-of-Frisko.html A man from France; one who is free. ????????????????? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer _______________________________________________ linux-libre mailing list [email protected] http://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-libre
