{Spam?} RE: [CLUG] Mandrake gets crap new name

terrible name - i cant believe Mandrake has done this.
sorry folks , but when we've got hard to pronounce names like "ubuntu"
and "mandriva", then i think somebody needs to come forward with
something a bit more short and snappy.
(is that uuu-bun-too or uh-bun-too , is that man-dreee-va or man-drive-va ?? )

btw - i love both distros... but the naming isnt doing us any favours.

it making me love "debian" even more... you cant mispronounce that.
