I was a duck and cover kid in the 50's, and a polio vaccine test subject. My my times have changed.

Here Down-under, our kids are taught 'duck and cover' for earthquakes. Wartime (WW2) we were supposed to evacuate to a set of uncovered trenches between the pine trees near the school.

hello Raymzap and everyone
mx has had some good names. The labels seem to allow incorporation of the user and userbase as well as the mx system. The developers always make a great choice and surprise us.
Yes there is few untainted words, so why not create a unword.? like horixon, symxbiosis, fuxion, anglx, facxt ..
Can't avoid thinking that a word like Horizon probably has a predetermined successor; whatever it is; it will be spxtacular.

Some eclectic choices might be the starship names chosen by their superintelligent AIs in Iain Bank's Culture series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_s ... ure_series
Such as Just Read the Instructions, Full Refund, I Blame My Mother, or I Blame Your Mother.
Or there's the names chosen by the law enforcement angels in the weird fantasy webcomic, Kill Six Billion Demons, such as 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil (shortened to White Chain)

Those sound like the ones used by Elon Musk to name his thingies...

Woah, today's KSBD strip just sailed on a ship to the Greek island of Lesbos. I did not see that coming...

I like Full Refund. MX already comes with a 100% money back guarantee. :D

Wait, there's already an Ultimate Edition Linux 5.7. Damn, they're living my joke.

Sort-of on the same subject:
what is the meaning of antiX? Does it imply an opposition to X, and if so, what is X?
And what does MX stand for?
Just curious, not taking sides, especially since I don't even know what the sides are...
