Mir was a famous Russian space station in low Earth orbit. Its contemporary successor is the International Space Station. Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu, made his money by selling his digital-certificate dotcom Thawte to Verisign; the first thing he did with his newfound great wealth was take a trip to the ISS as a paying space tourist. When he came home, he started the Ubuntu project. This, ISTM, is what poma was alluding to, using a play on words for Canonical's rival X.11 replacement project to Wayland, which is codenamed Mir. -- Liam Proven * Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven@xxxxxxxxx * GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lproven@xxxxxxxxxxx * Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 * Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
