Well, the Shrike to Severn tie-in is definitely Hyperion because Severn was the name of one of the characters from the book. Yarrow seems to be popular with witches: a bit of black magic, maybe! -----Original Message----- From: esm@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:esm@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 8:32 AM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Meaning of "Yarrow" On Thu, Nov 06, 2003 at 08:02:49AM -0800, Shanon Fernald wrote: > Just curious. This has been bugging me. Wasn't "Shrike" the name of a previous release of redhat? I know that the Shrike is from the great sci-fi novel Hyperion. Now if I'm not mistaken, wasn't there a "Yarrow" tree or something in the book too? Is that the relation between these two release names? Sorry if I am totally off-base here, but in the back of my mind this has been driving me crazy. Yeah, I'd been looking for a Simmons' tie-in too, but don't have a copy of Hyperion handy. :-P However, Severn was the beta leading up to Yarrow, so I'd think the connection needs to be there. The most promising tie-in I've found so far is a pair of chracters from the sci-fi comic Transmetropolitan (http://giaever.com/op/transmet/): Charron Yarrow and Vita Severn. This seems like a pretty good connection, although not knowing much about the comic, I'm not sure how related the characters are (if at all). -- Edward S.
