K's not always funny.

I thought Killustrator was funny, but Kroupware? Ugh. Very krappy.

It'a better if you take some Kough syrup.

Apt name for an Exchange replacement

[Anonymous Coward]

You clearly misunderstand the true purpose of Exchange, which is to transmit viruses at blinding speeds. For a full-featured replacement, you can't get a more marketable name than "kroupware".....

I suffered from a disease referred to as "the croup" when I was a kid.

Guess what the first thing I thought of when I read this? A vaporizor, hacking (the bad kind), and phelgm.

Re:What's with the name?-The "K" server.

[Anonymous Coward]

The server.

So what does it serve?

K's

What kind of K's?

Krunchy K's.

Krunchy K's?

Krunchy Krispy Krackly K's

On a Kaiser bun.

Uh Huh. You stay there while I kall someone to kome and karry your krazy ass out of my kondo. Kapish?

Spelling mistakes as usual

[arvindn]

Did anyone else notice that the /. story blurb is full of spelling mistakes? Anyway, here's the fixed version:

"The three kompanies behind the Kroupware Project (Erfrakon, Intevation and Klarälvdalens Datakonsult) announced its successful kompletion today. This new groupware approach using only Free Software is now available in stable versions under the Kolab brand name. Kommercial support on an individual basis is already offered with further support options to kome."

That's okay; When I hear GNOME, I think of some little guy pissing away in a fountain.
Likewise, when I hear MS, I think long-term crippling desease that leaves you dependant on others.
and gee what image comes to mind for apple?????
Finally, keep in mind, this is all international, rather than just english. How about KDE is no in some language? how about that MS is a venerial desease in another language. And as to gnome in another language, well, we will not go there.
Get over it.

Naming choice

[WheelDweller]

Great name!

Does this come installed with Teething 1.0? How about Thrush 1.0? Are there any other baby-disease names we could offer the KDE people? :)

Re:Has anybody tried it yet?

[Anonymous Coward]

Have I tried it? No. Will I ever try it? No. KDE is wrong.

No true patriot would ever use this stuff. Do you really want your kids world to be full of words like "Erfrakon" and "Klarälvdalens Datakonsult"? Its well documented that Germany actively colluded with terrorists and passively resisted our attempts to defend ourselves. For that, we can not support any of these neo-nazi movements.

Buy American [microsoft.com]!

Use a real man's groupware.

Re:Enough with the goddam 'K' names

[leoboiko]

I hate those G-something names from Gnome and K-something from KDE. I think I'll remove these "glibc" and "kernel" thingies, I never used them anyway.

(Ok, that's an old joke, but someone had to say it).
