I dont know about the rest of you but this new name really sucks. My next door neighbour asked me what Mandriva was. He thought it was a gay/lesbian thing.

Hi!
I also did not like the new name. However, I think you should need to refrain your gay/lesbian thing. It's just not funny and immature, besides the fact that some peoples may be offended by it.
Ha, That's a good one. I can see the corellation... I don't like it either. I don't think they were trying to go for a mocho theme just combine the two names. I surely think they could have come up with somthing better though. They really should have let their users determine...

First off mate that was what my NEIGHBOUR thought it was. I was just making a point on how the bad choice of name Mandrake went to. As far as immature and not funny, I wasn't laughing when he said that and its only immature because your mind must be American bred like the rest of them.
Oh and wanted to mention how do you know I am not gay/bi? What if I was? You think that I like my favourite distro being known as a gay/lesbian one?
