   Feisty Dunnart?
  Slashdot has posted an announcement of the release of the Linux kernel 2.6.2, also known as Feisty Dunnart. I seriously need to get hold of whatever funky-fun things those kernel hackers are smoking. Apparently, a dunnart is some sort of Australian marsupial or rodent. Yes. A rodent. Kinda like a rat.... or something...Perhaps, it is all a big cover-up, and they really refer to 2.6.2 in private circles as "jumping mouse". You know, like Muad''dib. So, maybe Linus and company are planning some sort of bloody jihad, and this kernel release is their signal to begin the festivities, eh?Feisty Dunnart... sheesh...

  I can hear the chanting now...Linus T, Linus T, Linus T...;  2.6 was "The beaver is out of rehab" or something.If you want seriously weird release names, GNOME has a fad going where they use iodioms and odd phrases from other languages.  Feisty dunnart is a Google-wack, according to one /. poster.
