Hi, I was just wondering where the name gNewSense actually comes from. I assume it has the 'gnu' sound (at least for some accents - others, such as us in the UK say 'nyu' instead of 'nu' for 'new') because it's a GNU/Linux distribution, specifically following the ideals of the GNU project. I also assume it has something to do with the word 'nuisance' as it sounds like that, and I've read that it used to be known as 'Gnuisance'. But I think it's a bit of an awkward name, and might put off newcomers to GNU/Linux, particularly with the small case 'g' and capitals in the middle. Why was that name chosen instead of 'Gnuisance'?
Thanks, Guy PS. Does anyone know if there's any plans by anyone to make a variation with KDE installed by default, in a similar way to Kubuntu. And if there is, is it called something like KNewsense? -- Please avoid sending me Microsoft Office files.
