[Mentalunix-developers] Re: name [Yahoo! Clubs: mentalunix]

[autwulf <clu...@ya...>]

Ok, my vote is for: MENTALinux. Why you ask? well...

if this distro is gonna be easy for schools and newbies and the average joe to use, it could be very easy for them to get confused by the word LUNIX. I realize the club is named mentalunix. but this is going to be a distro of Linux. not lunix. a uber-newbie might believe lunix's something entirely different than linux.

also, how would one pronounce mentalunix? Mental Unix, menta lunix, mental lunix... much easier is MENTALinux... giving us both the word MENTAL and Linux. Mental Linux. <grin> i think that name just has the most pizazz, and is the most straight forward. 

another thing... the people at berkley or whoever owns the word UNIX may not care if we said the unix is part of the work lunix. it is extremely similar, and the average person could confuse lunix with Unix very easily. that's why we'd lose a copyright lawsuit, if my memory of business law serves me correctly (i just had it last semester, but it seems so long ago).

i know i'm new here, but i just wanted to put my two cents in. :-)

later!
