Re: New version name "Don't Panic"???
I like it 
It kind of puts the mark too high for future release names....
If everything else fails, read the manual.

Re: New version name "Don't Panic"???
Perhaps by simply calling it 42? 
PS: Oh, and I think another release should be named "towel".

Yeah! That's the anwer... what was the question again?
Somewhere between "too small" and "too large" lies the size that is just right.

Re: New version name "Don't Panic"???

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something more bizarrely inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Re: New version name "Don't Panic"???
haha, I love that movie! Anyway I think the name "Don't Panic " is very cool and I like it! Duke is just too, umm, macho-ish sounding for me.

Re: New version name "Don't Panic"???
Don't Panic did give my folks the willies when they first saw it on their system, but I love it, Arch isn't about market kiss butt, it is about Linux, and making one darn good distro!

Although, there's a few nostalgic reasons for to choose Duke. Back in the times, at least all of the guys played games with chars like that. Even Purple Tentacle was kinda duky, don't you think?
One last advice: Kids, don't to drugs!

Never played it, but I have heard of it: Day of the Tentacle
Use to play other types of games when it came out, mostly games found on Amiga 500.
