LinuxMint 17 命名為"Qiana"，預計2014年5月份放出

linuxmint 17 命名為"qiana"，預計2014年5月底釋出。

’qiana’發音為 kee-ahn-ah， it was the name of a fashion silk-like material, introduced in the 1970s and popular in the disco-era, when it was made into loud, shiny shirts with pointy collars. the feminine name is of american origin, and its meaning is “silky”.

根據官方的介紹，’qiana’是一種仿絲綢材料的名字，在某些語言中也有歌手，光或者神的意思。

linux mint 17 “qiana”将有以下版本：

cinnamon

mate

kde

xfce

more so than a vibrant and extravagant style of the 1970s, we’ll be aiming for a silky smooth release.
