Can you please call it something like "rpm-ostree workstation"? There's quite a significant distinction between the rpm-ostree mechanism for constructing an OS, and the "Atomic host" concept. AIUI, *one* of the essential properties of an "Atomic host" is that it be built by rpm- ostree, but *another* essential propert of an "Atomic host" is that it consist of (or at least contain) a specific set of components, which a Workstation-on-rpm-ostree most likely would not. Quote: "The core of Project Atomic is the Project Atomic Host. This is a lightweight operating system that has been assembled out of upstream RPM content. It is designed to run applications in Docker containers." http://www.projectatomic.io/docs/introduction/ basically it seems to me that the definition of an Atomic Host is at least "an OS built with rpm-ostree that includes systemd, Docker and Kubernetes", but 'lightweight' can be read as implying that it shouldn't include very much at all *beyond* that (which would mean a Workstation would not qualify). Unless this new Workstation effort is specifically intended to always meet the definition of an "Atomic Host", *as well as* being a Fedora Workstation, I don't think it should be called Atomic Workstation. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
