OK so mine is/was/will be called epiaix

It is all Fedora + xine + vdr + xmms + diverse stuff forbidden in the
USA but destined to be used by people in France (boo, hiss...) and other
part of Europe or the World where they DGAF (Fon't Give A Fsck) about
stupid software patents (good software patents are OK the world over -
stupid ones we don't need). Oh and did I say that the kernel was patched
for VIA hardware sensors and diverse other VIA Epia stuff. 

I would like to say to potential users who may wish to upgrade for
security bits and pieces or do other stupid user stuff that it is based
on Fedora Core [version number] so that they can just yum away at their
risk and peril.

And I don't know if I will have the strength, intelligence or ... (biff
unused option) to scrub clean mentions or logos from every single corner
of a distribution that grows by a CD-ROM every three versions!
