Naming Linux Mint

[viking777]

Ok there hasn't been a thread about this for quite a while (at least not that I can find), so how about I throw my idea onto the field for you to kick around a bit.

Debian is named after characters in 'Toy Story' right, so since Mint is becoming increasingly Debian based, why not adopt the same sort of naming scheme. My suggestion is names of characters from The Simpsons

It has probably been thought of before, but I think it would go something like this.

Linux Mint Homer.
Instead of producing error messages like this

Exception c0000005, at 78180284
Access violation: attempting to read memory at address 52555400
Native function stack data: 0,30424b0,4e454449,49464954,30005,80100,86d38,ffffffff
Exception in thread "main" com.jniwrapper.FunctionExecutionException: c0000005

It would just say:

DOH!

Which is far more cool and just as useful.

Linux Mint Mr. Burns

This version would just steal your credit card numbers

Linux Mint Lisa.

Small, functional and clever - must be given to the Fluxbox Edition

And the thing is you would never run out of characters, because once you have used up all the main ones you could start on the 'Virtual' guests that they have had over the years. For example you could have:

Linux Mint Tony Blair

This version would start by erasing part of your hard drive then at every subsequent boot it would display a message like this:

I firmly believe that deleting the data in the middle (east) part of your hard drive was the right thing to do.

PS. Do you want to buy my book?

But I couldn't wait to use

Linux Mint Bart

I think this should be given to LMDE, then every time an update baulked your computer a message would pop us saying:

I didn't do it

Priceless

Over to you!

Hehehe, I like the Tony Blair part... Carrying on the naming tradition:

Berlusconi Edition:
All the wallpaper pack will be of naked women (preferably of 17-18 y/o's).

Bush Edition:
The system would perform a WiFi scan of all other distros in the vicinity and would forcefully Mintify the themes without users' consent: "Bringing the superior Mint-X theme to the less privileged distos."

Gaddafi Edition:
If an application crashes - force quit, remove and purge the whole package list associated with that app.

PutiИ Edition:
Firewall renamed to Ironwall that would block all internet traffic, unless the incoming data has the word ВФЯДТ in it.
