Quite what a 'professional' code name is I don’t know. I’ve worked for companies that used types of potato as code names, used anagrams of the team members names. One thing for sure though, the Ubuntu code names get noticed and spread around the net giving us valuable publicity. It doesn’t seem to put the French government off, as the happily deploying Ubuntu on quite a large scale. As for names like GIMP, does Ifanview or Excel give any hint as to what the progam does. -- Steve Cook (Yorvyk) http://lubuntu.net -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
