As such, several of our names made a lot of sense:
Fedora 7 Gnome Live CD
Fedora 7 KDE Live CD
Fedora 7 Everything
I think "Everything" isn't descriptive enough, and "Fedora" without
any qualifiers isn't enough either.
My recommendation :
Fedora 7 Base Install ( CD or DVD )
Fedora 7 Base Live CD ( also installable )
Fedora 7 KDE Live CD ( also installable )
Fedora 7 Inclusive Repository ( network Installable )
The "Base" spin is what all other spins are based on, but it is not a
"basic" installation.
I think the old word "Core" had too many connotations about how small
the installation was. The term "Base" in some ways is similar to the
term "Core" , but does not seem to indicate "small."
The word "Everything" is too nebulous for me. Maybe "Inclusive" is
not the best term either, but it gets closer to what I think
describes that repo.
Sorry, the term "Prime" only makes me think of a specific member of
the Transformers.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming . . .
