Re: Possible new name for "deity"
How about "Adam"? I personally don't know of any other tool that uses this
name, but it does seem an fairly obvious name for a sysadm tool. I believe it
meets all of the criteria:
1) the name needs to be a good length (4-8 chars, 2 or 3 is too short)
exactly 4
2) not specific to a particular distribution or type of package
I don't see anything Debian specific about it or otherwise.
3) intuitive and memorable
Hmm... well if you have any sort of unix background, it's at least slightly
intuitive - "adm" pronounced "adam". Memorable? It's no harder than
learning somebody's name...
Carrying on in good GNU tradition, I do think a recursive acronym would be a
lovely touch. After devoting a whopping 5 seconds of brain cycles to this I
came up with: Adam Does All Management. Not particularly exciting, but maybe
it will seed some more creative ideas.
You can also add your own biblical connotations if you're so inclined, but I
don't see how anyone could consider "Adam" overtly religious (and therefore
offensive).
My 2 cents...
