The Red Hat community engineer behind the Fedora Games and Fedora Xfce media spins, Rahul Sundaram, announced the release of Omega 10 Beta, a remix of Fedora this past weekend. Omega is a desktop/mobile Linux distribution that is based upon Fedora but includes packages from the Livna RPM repository. The Omega 10 Beta release is roughly equivalent to the Fedora 10 Beta to be released tomorrow, but integrates multimedia support not found in Fedora.

Yeah, I always had trouble deciding between Quisp and Quake.
Actually, in a situation like this, where the changes are tiny and are what the users do anyway, it's the trademark issues that are responsible for any actual confusion. Instead of being able to call it something sensible like "Fedora+Multimedia 10", it has to be called "Omega 10", or "Pink Beret 10", or "Orange Sombrero 10". Ditto for applications like "Frost-Ferret".
Definitely Lipton on that one! :-)
