Same here. Things that come to mind: Rocky, the champion boxer who can "go the distance" and never gives up... the Rocky Mountains, which are, well, rocky and strong... Rocky Road ice cream, which tastes good.

A zillion times better than trying to explain what a "Suse", an "Ubuntu", or a "Manjaro" is, and that's before talking about the various types of hat-based distros.

To be fair, there is also the second definition of rocky, as in "That was a rocky situation", or unsteady / unstable.

I agree though its a perfectly fine name.

And, of course, Rocky and Bullwinkle.

I want Bullwinkle Linux.
