What's in a name?

Just as a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, so shall linux on the A320 ... well ... you know what I mean. BooBoo posted on his blog addressing the recent name-change talk, and he welcomes you (yes you!) to join in! Many names have been suggested thus far, but only one that is available as a domain name will do. Here is a (partial) list of names that have been suggested:
  • Lingoo-X
  • Dingux
  • Lingux
  • Dinlux
  • DinGNU
  • Xingoo
  • Dinux
  • DinTux
  • LingoOS
  • DingoOS
  • DinBoo
  • LinBoo
  • DinLin
  • Dinguin
BooBoo also states that while "BooBoo Linux" is flattering he does not feel right putting his name on it due to the major contributions of those before him. Leave a post voicing your favorite here.

  2. And i like Dinguin, so if possible, please add it. Dinguin is lovely, easy to pronounce, and to understand.

  3. I like DingGNU...but I also think it is ridiculous that somebody had to whine like a little b**** about the name. I swear, soon people will be complaining that it is racist because milk is white. It was obviously not meant as a racist ploy to belittle anyone. Thanks for the hard work Booboo.

    I think we should let Clint Eastwood name it.

  4. Hey, what's with this Burger King company ova here! Naming that sandwich the Whopper...I take offence to that. I mean can't you name it something that doesn't sound like "wop"? What are you thinking ova here?

  5. Added Dinguin =] DinGNU is my favorite as well, I thought it was pretty clever. I wish Lingoo was available as a domain name tho, that would havee been the easiest alternative.

  6. Small update: I'm getting a 404 error on lingoox, so booboo has probably made a decision. That or the massive influx of comments crashed the site ;P

  12. Listen... I know it was a silly objection, but the point is that at this time it was VERY EASY to change it, so I though it was worth it.

  13. Exactly. Also take notice that most of the whining occurs from behind the veil of safety that the anonymity of the internet provides. I think the decision to change it was a sound one as it ensures that no toes will be stepped on down the road. Sure the level of political correctness has gotten a bit ridiculous, but if it's a simple fix like booboo said it's better just to do so & avoid any possible headaches. Rest assured that whatever the name the work speaks for itself =]
