And what about using something called Debian? Is that a "good name" or a
"commercially feasible name"?
Perhaps you have that impression due to being used to it, but "Debian"
sounds slighly funny in other languages too and can be used for jokes
(for instance, in Portuguese).
If I cared about names, I wouldn't have discovered some great free
software (and that's not to mention the recursive acronyms). And I have
not even started with word plays/puns in original Unix commands.
Unix *is* indeed a culture/life style that may be strange to others used
to other paradigms.
Just my 2 cents, Rogério Brito.
