It's that thanksgiving/turkey american thing, right?
Kind of. Do a Google search for "Linux greased turkey". I believe it's a joke on earlier (smooth as a) "greased weasel" releases - greased turkeys aren't very smooth. There has been a "basted turkey" release around a previous Thanksgiving, but the last "greased turkey" release that I can find was in February 1996. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
