The tagline "Choice of the Linux generation" seems too close to "choice of the GNU generation" and, sad to say, not as witty. How about "the choice is yours" or a terrible maths / physics pun like "We have magnitude and direction" ?

I think the tagline should be a good discussion..........how about "choice of a free generation"?
I'm open to suggestions as I'm not real pleased with that myself but something fresh would be welcome throw in your ideas........................

Well, "choice of a free generation" would pose essentially the same problem. "We have magnitude and direction" is the only thing witty I can think of right now, so I'll let others have a go at this now.

Using linear algebra and geometry would be interesting for future artwork, though. I draw like a troglodyte, so I can't really help here, unless it involves typesetting the maths or something similar.

Not sure about the year (?), and it's a little silly, but it's also:

1) Fun
2) Denotes speed/excitement
3) Pun-filled in terms of the sox media player

Keep sharing!

It's fast on old hardware, I can only guess it flys on the newer stuff.

It's not necessary to have the real year. Just use a figure that looks good and respectable, like '872 C.E.'

Edit: Nobody noticed the reference to King Harald 'Fairhair' I

I like the math pun idea. I don't think I can top "We Have Magnitude and Direction" slogan." It's the simplest possible pun on "vector" and a deceptively accurate description of the distribution. Nonetheless, I'm pretty shameless when it comes to math puns, so I'll throw a few ideas out there.  (As far as I'm concerned they're not especially good, but hopefully I'll inspire somebody else).

While we're at it, we could rename the forums "The Vector Spaces."

But how many people do you think would get it? I certainly didn't (don't). I don't think our distro wants to appeal just to math aficionados. To non-mathies, "We Have Magnitude and Direction" just seems odd.

I'd say forget the math puns.

I think 'magnitude and direction' could be understood by someone without linear algebra or physics experience. (Personally, I was just terrible in physics.) It wouldn't be funny, but it would still leave an impression.

The only other connotation I can think of for the word 'vector' is a disease-carrying parasite, but even that can be spun to advantage: "Vector: An infectiously fun Linux experience!"

to expand on "...hold tight" maybe "Fasten your seatbelts for departure.........." which i think sums it up....................
but keep em coming

At this rate, we'll end with a surplus...

Seat belt's recommended.

lol

[easuter]

"Fasten your seatbelts" sounds pretty good.

I'm not sure where I saw this other one though, but I think it was on a screenshot in the old forum (JohnB316 maybe?):

"Power up the warp drives!"

[M0E-lnx]

Better yet, "Seatbelts Required!"
