Re: New name: Call for opinions

Hi all,

refering to 
<http://wiki.debian.org/CDDNamingProposals#head-7bb1ae330046f9d0720b77e76d6ee7aa992b754f>
i would like to drop following letters:

* thingy1:
DISE (Debian Integrated Special/Spezialized Environment/Edition).
The existing meaning found in <http://www.acronymfinder.com/>
"Doing It So Easy" does not sound so bad ;-)

* thingy2:
Debian connected distribution?

* thingy3:
Debian based or - as already mentioned - debian derived.


good luck
gerhard
