Until they go sued by the Asterix copyright owners, then they could just rename it to LeNix.

Of course the French would have Asterix

Close, it will be called Fishsux.

I thought he already had one - the wireless component for the Tux Droid called "Fux".

What next? Kernux, the Cornish distro?

Wayaynux, the Geordie distro, Bostinux, the Black country Distro, or even Oopyerownendux, the Brummie Distro

Maybe, after all London already has one called Blag (sounds best when pronounced with your best Ray Winstone impression).

No, a cynical "devil's advocate" column that used to be on the last page of LXF.
Commented on the shortcomings of the open source movement is general.

Wasn't terribly popular for some reason.

And why limit people to Gnome or KDE? on older, slower PCs ( and newer, slower netbooks) XFCE or Fluxbox are much better options.

Mind you, ignore all of the negativity, don't let it dishearten you. All of these old cynics went through it at some time.

Bring back Cynux!

Why do you insist on not installing a dual boot for Linux newbies? They are the people thatmost need the safety net of a working Windows installation. Installing for dual Windows/Linux boot is not at all difficult providing you, or the person explaining it to you, knows the correct order in which to do things.

The picture of the woman using the laptop rings a bell, do you own the copyright or is it published under a Creative Commons license? If not you probably shouldn't be using it.
