That's an interesting question Nelson... I suppose that every language has it's own way when referring to Fedora and Fedora Linux. (In Greek Fedora could be an "it" or "she", i prefer "she" :P ) In order to bypass any conflicts and misunderstandings I would suggest using universally the "it" when referring to Fedora. ~π -- Pierros Papadeas PGP key: 0x6130DBF8 http://pierros.papadeas.gr [email protected] liknus @ GRnet , Freenode -- marketing mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
