Hey, Rahul --
Not making suggestions, just pointing out some hurdles that I hope marketing
is ready to successfully overcome.
Meanwhile, it looks like we've got the stoner Linux user market nailed on
the Central California Coast. :-)
Fire it up.
Heh, this was not on my mind when I thought of the wording, but
whatever floats people's boats....
Your point about translation is excellent. For non-English speakers,
the meaning of "Fire it up" as intended is similar to "start the
engines," and in this case the engine is a nuclear furnace of software
freedom! :-) So something that captures that aspect is probably the
right way to go for translation.
