User Feedback :: Soon to be in production environment



This is probably going to seem like a REALLY odd question, but for anyone out there introducing or using DSL in a public school setting, has there been an issue with the word "damn" in the name of the distro?

DSL could breathe new life into older PCs in the district, but I know sooner or later there'd be a parent (or even a teacher) objecting to the word "damn" on the splash screen. Silly, I know, but where kids are involved stuff like that can be a huge issue.

Has anyone run into this?
I don't think that is a silly question at all. I have the same concern since I am refurbishing PC's for kids.
Is there a quick and simple way to change the boot so "damn" is replaced by "darn", for such situations?
Hehe, could make regional-specific versions - "bloomin' small... ", "wee small...", "crikey, it's a little bugger..." :p

I think the regional versions are a "darn" good idea! For us culturally-deprived users in the States, I prefer "Dang Small". :)
the only problem is that the distro may be unrecognizable by anyone approaching the pc and being interested/amazed/suprised/delighted: how could he/she know that what he/she is seeing is DSL?
but that, it's a good idea, in my opinion.
