Linux Brands: Desired and Distracting at the Same Time

,----[ Quote ]
| There were other, more subtle clues for the 
| trained observer. When I would attend 
| LinuxWorld conferences, I could usually tell 
| what distro someone was running by the color 
| scheme. Green was SUSE Linux or openSUSE. 
| Blue usually indicated Fedora, with red 
| reflecting, well, Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 
| And if was brown, you knew it was Ubuntu.

Linux and branding

,----[ Quote ]
| Marketing isn't the first word that one
| associates with the Linux community, but it
| is a necessary activity for those who wish
| to bring new users into the fold (and
| perhaps make a buck at the same time). The
| recent Ubuntu rebrand, and the subsequent
| media attention surrounding it, provides an
| opportunity to consider the larger question
| of branding for Linux distributions and
| open source projects
