While I wait for my code to compile (aka slacking off) I thought I'd throw in my idea about the next distro's name. Clearly, maintaining the current format of adjective animal is important and we are now on to the letter J, so my choice would be: Jaunty Jerboa. Since hopefully the next distro will be both self confident and able to leap well past predators (competitors). What would you name it? Has this been decided already and posted somewhere else?

Darn that Star Wars P.T.S.D.!!!

I would prefer Jumping Jackass. You have to keep in mind that I run Hardy and think it should be call either Horny Horse or Happy Hooker.

If they let me name them it would be more interesting but probably have less mass appeal.

Kavelting Koala

"Barking Basenji"

The Basenji has been used by African tribes for 4 or 5 thousand years. The Basenji will flush birds into nets, course ungulates and swine and kill rodents.

The Basenji's voice is shaped such that it can't produce a bark. But it can give a lame approximation. Also the Basenji can make some really crazy noises. Some people have even mistaken the Basenji's scream for a baby's
