[lug] "red hat - the new redmond?" the brand is bad

[Rob Mohr]

I, for one, believe Red Hat needs a more savvy, hip name. 

And the Red Hat icon or logo is almost too dorky to to believe.  It
reminds me of the red top of Ronald McDonald, yuck.  

Just what is the genesis of the name Red Hat?  (Remember the TV commercial
when the man says "I named it Daves Good Stuff."   And his wife bites back
with "How long did it take you to think that one up?"
