Rasterman is Carsten Haitzler. Yes, both first names are pronounced the same. Carsten and I both worked at VA Linux Systems at the same time, so it is a mistake that has happened. The key to my comment is, where I was born and have mainly lived (California), _no_one_ was named 'Karsten'.[1] I was rare, until I discovered the Internet and a large number of German math students. ;-) Part of my personal awareness becoming global has been understanding how people are named. It becomes easy to lump together foreign-sounding names as being "all the same." It is a worthy challenge to pay attention when engaging with a new locale, trying to understand how people's names are put together, and knowing who is who. - Karsten [1] I've yet to actually shake hands with someone of the same name. I do now have a good woman friend named Karsta, which I believe is of the same origin. -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Content Services Fedora Documentation Project http://www.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject
