This is precisely why Fedora doesn't have hats in its logo, and doesn't have the Red Hat name in it. Only a vague association because a fedora is the type of hat worn by the shadowman.
Exactly. Actually, I don't know much about hats :-) nor did I know the RH logo had a name until I worked there, so I had just thought "a fedora is a type of hat". Now, I do actually have a red fedora, but I wouldn't even have registered that tenuous link. If it had been me at the time, I would have called what is now openSUSE "Chameleon Linux" or even the (now taken, by a meta-distro of openSUSE, which sort of makes my point) "Gecko Linux" or something. If the organisation was to be independent and separate, keeping the name was a mistake, in my humble and entirely personal and non-corporate opinion. The same goes for the logo and the version numbering. :-( -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
