Why on earth is 11.10 called Oneiric Ocelot? Onanistic Ocelot is so much easier and more accurate to such a self-congratulatory distro...  |

According to Benevolent Dictator Mark it is to combine "daydreams" and "discipline" - see Next after Natty?. |

Would penguin be a too obvious choice? _________________ Unix is user-friendly. It's just very selective about who it's friends are. |

I don't think Panther is an option, OS X 10.3 was called Panther. |

Maybe there won't be an Ubuntu 11.10, as everyone will move to Mint

No, but they like to tell us the names well in advance, so we can all lots of dismissive comments about them. You will find that the clue is in the numbering, 11.10 will be out in October this year, probably. _________________ Bye, Rhakios |

The world ends in 2012, not 2011 ... and it's after 12.10 (Qabalistic Quetzalcoatlus anyone ) should be released. |
