sysdes -> SYStemDEScription ? no joke this was may first idea on this

here my 2 cents (after asking google)

sysdesign -> some companie with that name
sysdesigner -> even software with that name (unrelated)
systemdesigner -> even here some more


for the more adventures:
Linux-System-Designer for-> LSD4
and the addons:
	4-rhel-lsd
	4-fedora-lsd
	4-suse-lsd
	4-....
