Your choice of name for this respin is certainly interesting, would you care to share your reasons for choosing it

Certainly. It’s a wonderful, fantastical name for three reasons:
* It abbreviates to “CLR”. The CLR, or Common Language Runtime, is one of the core parts of an ECMA335 implementation
* Given my use of one of Plunder Island’s feral chickens as my avatar, the chicken link is well-established
* The Sky Is Falling is an excellent fable, and the screams of imminent disaster are well-served by reading it, given Mono’s creation in 2001, inclusion in Debian in 2002, and inclusion in Ubuntu by default in 2006

Your comment in last paragraph about the paranoid amoung us, only serves to show your continued , laughable lack of sinerity about all of this.

When I say “the paranoid amongst us”, I specifically refer to people who would “look a gift horse in the mouth”. Sound like anyone you know? Obviously I’m not “sincere” with CLR, since I strongly feel that Mono is no greater risk than anything else on a desktop – but, to help prove a few points, I invested an hour (70 minutes, truth be told, including downloading the unmodified ISO and one false start). It was worth the investment, if nothing else because the price I charge for feature requests (which would include the i386 ISO) is worth charging.

I’ve taken a different route, and said “here is a gift horse. Hey, ever heard of West Nile Virus? Just sayin’…”. It is up to the end user to determine whether they think a gift horse from a “bad” person is likely to come pre-infected, and I just want to make people fully aware of exactly which electronic trust they are undertaking, from whom, and which violations of that trust are technically feasible. The paranoid will assume the worst.

But you know what Jo, it does not matter, because Fedora is leading the way to real ‘choice’, something it seems debian/ubuntu have no clue about ; and further, I suspect ‘chicks’ will feel safe there as well .

So, to clarify, “real choice” means “the lack of choice _I_ want”, right? In which case, what’s wrong with CLR? Surely it’s exactly what you people have been demanding (yet not bothering to do yourselves) for months if not years?

Needs testing, SCP’ing home, and torrenting

Still not sure if the torrent works, I’m seemingly not marked as a seeder on TPB :/

Done. I got a Clue, Jr. game for NC, because:

1. That is where I am originally from.
2. Clue is the one of the coolest games ever.
3. The movie was pretty rocking too.

Demonstration of clicking on the map on http://childsplaycharity.org/ would be EXTREMELY motivating for me.
