Or what about kakabaratruskia. It would be a hit.

I think "Jeffrey" would be cool. Like in the song "A song for Jeffrey" - Jethro Tull

Given the hubbub about "the future of Arch Linux," I would prefer "Perestroika."

Re: Name for new 0.7 release: ORCA
maybe Nebula too... Sirius is a good name but it makes me think of the Satellite Radio every time. Maybe we could change the logo to Golden Arches and call the next release "McWidget"?

ORCA because it is a whale of a big distro!!
I propose "neutron star", because it's small but "dense"
Otherwise "bash" (meaning a strong hit, not the shell).

Re: Name for new 0.7 release: ORCA
How about following a set naming scheme like Debian does - fx. naming each release after an important figure in Open Source as a tribute..
0.7 could then be the "Linus" release
0.8 could be "Robert M. Love", and so on.
I'm proud to be a a freedomloving infidel piece of treehugging eurotrash.

Re: Name for new 0.7 release: ORCA
To keep it in "arch" related names.....no Debian
archepelago, archangel, architek,archimedes, archer, archetype, arched, archaeo, archi (meaning primitive or original), archeo
