Just a question: why didnt you guys complain about Red Hat 9? It could 
be only Hat version 9... Come on!

Why are people trying to change the name? I dont really care if the guys 
at work call Fedora "fedorento" [1]...  I dont care if it
is called  Fedora Core , Fedora zambs , Fedora something , Fedora Ultra 
master Plus version 2...  I only care if this distro has the right stuff 
in it...
no broken dependencies (like Suse , for example) , no closed source 
drivers , no risk of DMCA problems... I just want a distro I can install on
any server and it will work perfectly.... and fedora fits the bill here...

So , let's forget about this. The name is only a name , nothing more. 
I'm here for the distro , no matter its name...

[1] -> the adjective "fedorento"  (translation for "stinky") is being 
used at work as a noun to call fedora... maybe in a hard way , because
those who are calling Fedora this way are Suse users...
