Tettnang, a small town in southern Baden-Württemberg in a region of Germany known as Swabia. It lies 7 kilometers from Lake Constance. The region produces significant quantities of hops, an ingredient of beer, and ships them to breweries throughout the world. As such, "Tettnang" is also the name of a variety of hop plant: see this webpage on Tettnang hops (http://www.yakimachief.com/hopvarieties/tettnanger.html).
Tettnang is also the codename for Red Hat's Fedora Core 2 (final release). For instance, a newly installed system will have a prompt similar to the following:
Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) Kernel 2.6.5-1.358 on an i686 mymachine login:
The Fedora Project released Tettnang on May 18, 2004. The binary images consist of 4 CDs plus 1 rescue CD.
The main components of this release include kernel 2.6, GNOME 2.6, KDE 3.2, X.org 6.7 and OpenOffice.org 1.1.
(Fedora Core 1 had the codename "Yarrow". Yarrow preceded hops as an ingredient of beer: see the note on Tettnang in Germany).
