Just a question: why didnt you guys complain about Red Hat 9? It could
be only Hat version 9... Come on!
Why are people trying to change the name? I dont really care if the guys
at work call Fedora "fedorento" [1]... I dont care if it
is called Fedora Core , Fedora zambs , Fedora something , Fedora Ultra
master Plus version 2... I only care if this distro has the right stuff
in it...
no broken dependencies (like Suse , for example) , no closed source
drivers , no risk of DMCA problems... I just want a distro I can install on
any server and it will work perfectly.... and fedora fits the bill here...
So , let's forget about this. The name is only a name , nothing more.
I'm here for the distro , no matter its name...

[1] -> the adjective "fedorento" (translation for "stinky") is being
used at work as a noun to call fedora... maybe in a hard way , because
those who are calling Fedora this way are Suse users...
