Linux Mint 5 Review: The Gay Hacker Clems comments in the blog
A very good review that has brought up ideas to go into version 6 of Mint
Version 6 of Mint to be named Felicia
A security flaw in Elyssa
Although it’s a serious issue it is mitigated by the fact that to use it you have to log in as root when you boot or log out of the present user account into root and this would hardly go unnoticed
Some statistics about Elyssa
Donors and sponsors in May Thank you all

Version 6 of Mint to be named Felicia
Well, i suppose the name comes from the extincted Latin
Does it mean felicity? (felicidade) happy, happiness?.
There are a lot of man in Brazil named Felício
Nowadays it’s a bit rare to find a girl or Lady with
this name. Felícia. Felicia not sounds good to name
females human beings but it fits nice to a distro codename.
Fedora for me is a testing laboratory for RedHat but the distro
itself isn’t bad.
Mandriva Linux One Spring 2008.1 is really a good distro but not entirely satisfactory to me.
Mr Mark, please stop talking. I am really tired from your
interviews…bla, bla, bla…
Are there evil distros?
I’ve read the article on Linux Journal and Mint is involved
within that ridiculous article without no sense at all.
I got surprised that on guy there posted a link to:
UnbuntuSatanicOrg…check it out by yourselves.
Alberto: thanks for your intensive and hard work developing
Envy – A wonderful tool!
Thanks for Gay Hacker for Mint’s 5 Elyssa review.
Clem i sent you a important messages in the forum, please read it.
Hello Clem.
Thank You for your wonderful work and for the nice new distro name 😉 I like it very much, you know!

“Felicia not sounds good to name

Sorry I think so, in Spain and Germany we have some nice girls with that name ♥ | greetings to Brazil
timh
Ok, thanks and greetings to your country too.
Felicia:
the dictionary also says a kind of herbs with usually
blue flowers.
So, my apologies to all the pretty girls named Felicia in
Spain, Germany and around the world. The Portuguese
phonetic (as the name sounds to me)can’t be the same as it
sounds to the whole languages. Let’s consider ourselves it
will fit very good for the next version 6 of Linux Mint.
Hugs – abrazos – abraços
