Surely you mean OpenOffice, File Explorer, and Firefox don't you? Please don't confuse the somewhat wacky names associated with a somewhat wacky Linux distribution to be the end all of Linux application naming conventions. Besides, "Ubuntu Intrepid Ibis" is no more childish than "Mac OS X Leopard" or "Windows Longhorn," now is it.

At least do some research before spewing your anti-Linux vitrol here. Horses for courses and all that...

Heart...because all OS want to be UNIX in their kernels :)
