All of these are good names. You know what it is, just by looking at the
name.
Except that none of the test releases of Fedora 7 called the GNOME live
cd as that. look at the announcement or
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/. I have pointed this out several
times before and this has not changed. Do you agree we need to call it
by that name?
The answer, Rahul, is that "it depends". If you're talking about it to
someone who doesn't know that there is a difference between Gnome and KDE,
then you can tell them about what a "live CD" is and hand them whichever
one you want, and they go about their merry way, and sometime later on in
their Linux education they'll learn about how there are multiple desktop
options.
For a long time Linux user who just wants to see the list of "all
available spins of Fedora 7", you have to spell it out specifically.
Under "Get Fedora" you can have two options.
1) I am new to Linux -- help me figure out which version of Fedora I want.
2) I am an expert -- just give me the full list and leave me alone.
Setting aside the fact that that name is not acceptable for me as a
board member we need to avoid such surprises. I don't know in which
board meeting this was decided but I have missed the discussion or
meeting. I am not finding fault with anyone but some public discussion
should have happened in advisory board list or even here after getting
input from Red Hat branding team.
Understood.
