Do You Agree That Kubuntu Should be Renamed - If So, What Name?

[dragonbite]

Kan't Kubuntu Keep Kranking (out) Kool Kritters Keeping Krazy Kharacters Kinda Komfy-Kozy (and) Kontinue Keeping Kuality Kitties?

If Kubuntu changes from being Ubuntu based to Debian or Red Hat based, I am pretty sure Canonical would not want to allow keeping "ubuntu" in the name and thus a name change would probably be necessary. Wouldn't this just make Kubuntu a whole new distribution to be thrown in the mix and made to fend for itself and then somebody can come along and ask Canonical for the Kubuntu name and start going at it again?

Or if just the name is changed, what is Kubuntu other than another derivative of Ubuntu?

And would Kubuntu's sponsor (Blue Systems?) continue to sponsor it?

KubuntuRenamed


Feeling a bit tautological this morning.

BluKu rhymes with Cookoo. KDEBlue has a nice ring to it.

[geoaraujo]

KDEBlue is nice. I like it.

As Ubuntu gets farther and farther out on its own limb it will, eventually, leave Kubuntu to fall off that limb by default. The question is "Do you want to wait until Kubuntu runs into the 'bridge out' ahead sign with little time to prepare, or do should Kubuntu developers begin NOW in making an orderly preparation and move to a Debian base?"

My answer to that question is YES!.

Personally, I have already made the move by installing KWheezy 1.3 on my PC and I have not been disappointed with it. In fact, I am very much impressed by it.

I agree with GrayGeek +1

"BlueKu" sounds like a sneeze if you emphasize the "Ku" -- thus, gesundheit!

Sorry to hear that you have a cold. As for me and my Wife, we could not get anything like a sneeze out of the word "BlueKu". I do not like starting a name with a strong consonant like "K".

I hope there is no alcohol in the medicine for your cold. This doesn't sound like German to me.

Sounds like you are trying to pronounce a long word after taking a few muscle relaxers.

as the only language that I know is Australian.

Is that like some kind of prisoner's English? LOL.

[NoWorries]

Gesundheit!

I must say that I am impressed with your German as the only language that I know is Australian. I had to look up the meaning of Gesundheit and found the following which I assume is correct.

Have no idea. Never heard of it but I thought in keeping with KDE naming adding the "K" to the front seemed perfect.

I thought Netrunner was aleady KDE.
