Fedora Core questions

[Nicholas Marsh]

Is this the working name, or will the system always be known as Fedora Core? My vote, if it's worth anything, would be to drop the "Core" and just go with Fedora.

Also, will the red hat programs menu icon change since it is no longer Red Hat Linux?

Thanks.

This was asked already, and I believe the answer was that the icon on the
programs menu is simply "a hat/fedora that happens to be red".  It is not
the Red Hat(tm) logo, which is the "shadowman" image.  (see
http://www.redhat.com/img/homepg_rh_logo.gif for an example of the
official logo).  So therefore the programs menu icon can stay the same.

Yes, that was originally my question, and I'm happy to see that I am not 
the only one worrying about such things. Thought I was way out there in 
red felt space somewhere...

I think the name is decided already and fedora is the overarching name -
fedora core is the base distribution - hence fedora extras, alternatives
and legacy.
