Linux Lite Release Roadmap

[rokytnji]

Roman Numerals = Only old folks like us can read Roman Numerals. My grandkids can't.
Words for Numbers = Turns off the younger generation who lives on leet speak. wrd 4 a nmbr?
Binary = Need I say anything? You got to be kidding me.
Letters =Maybe. KISS. But only so many till 1A or AB.
Colors  = only so many, than you have to start going into "candy apple red"
Current Number Scheme = Maybe, KISS. Hard to run out of numbers.

so I am not voting. Just pointing things out.  We are up to number 14 now, Lean and mean.

I like the Ubuntu style release numbers of [year].[month]. It quickly reminds you how old the release is and when it was released. If you use the common software version scheme then you need some kind of crosswalk document to keep track.

Current Scheme or Roman numerals,

The company I work for has started to switch everything over to LL from an all windows enviroment to LL for work stations and CentOs for servers and wouldn't have a issue with either has both scheme's are easy to understand.

By two cents worth

I like the current numbering system, it is easy to understand, and doesn't take ages to type out if you are having to write it or enter it into a terminal for some reason.

Hi,
I think I have found another idea : if Linux Lites symbol is the feather then, it would be logical to have :

1./ name of birds or any other animal that has feather

or even better :

2./ American indian tribes because they wore feathers as our PC's wear Linux Lite and it would make our distros have exciting names (there are so much on Wikipedia!)

Just joined the forum but as a veteran of 50+ years of working with, for and on computers I dare to add my $0.02:

PLEASE stay with a numbering system. Easy, understood everywhere,  even in China I believe.

Only the creators/maintainers of any major piece of software will ever be able to associate a name with the correct context of where in the genealogy a given piece in question stands!

New and different is NOT automatically better!

At last someones turned the light on.


Ubuntu do a six month new version because of the free publicity it generates, Jerry chose the LTS but I was very disappointed that it wasn't based on debian stable which is what I would choose if I was migrating a business away from XP which is what a shed load of SMB's(small to medium business)

A stable Linux running virtualbox or KVM or something using their licenced copies of XP and Office etc.

A painless solution to their needs.

But the kids always know better, it's newer, brighter, the latest thing etc


Nobody listens to old farts anymore.




I only posted a few little files!!

@UKBrian:
Thanks for the clapping hands.
But just as I have seen so many times in big businesses somebody in the top floor office  has made up his/their mind. Reason don't matter as they say here in the US of A.
