But, see, that's not even what we're talking about.
So following Chris's logic, maybe we'd fill in values as such: X = Fedora 7 Linux Y = Fedora 7 Linux Server Z = Fedora 7 Linux Desktop And maybe I buy that for Y and Z... but not for X. Because people will say "I want Fedora Linux", and that's not going to be a sufficient answer, because "Fedora Linux" will just be too damned big.
Every other distribution does this so I really don't see the problem. Keep the regular name Fedora or Fedora Linux for the entire distribution and the regular variant will be predefined packages from the Fedora repository and a special server edition if warranted. I don't see how Fedora is so different from Debian (which does it this way I believe), Opensuse, and Ubuntu, all community distributions.
Anyway. Those are the issues as I see them. Discuss. :)
