Oh english... I've always had a love hate relationship with the english language. I'm originally from central Illinois (Springfield) deep in "soda" territory. Note: I'm not sure how it is in other countries but in the US there's a few different words for the same thing (a soda or pepsi or coke or whatever). For more info see here: http://popvssoda.com:2998/
Like I said, I'm from soda country though recently moved to a mostly "pop" town. I stick with soda because it sounds natural to me and for arguments sake, there are already so many other uses for the word pop. There's pop-music. I can pop a balloon or even hop on pop if I want to. Soda mostly stays true to its meaning though. This brings me to another interesting word that we use a lot in the Linux world.
Support.
It seems straight forward at first but we throw the word support around a lot in email and IRC without really thinking about what it means to us, or to the people we're talking to. For example.
CentOS5 is not supported. Fedora Core 5 is not supported.
But CentOS5 is "not supported" in a very very different way then Fedora Core 5 is "not supported". Another example:
Fedora 8 is supported RHEL5 is supported
But again, RHEL5 has support in a very different way then Fedora 8 has support. So whats the point of all this? There isn't one, but my build is done so I'm going to get back to work.
