One question to ask about the new name is, do we want to retain "Linux" in our name? I ask for two reasons. First, we've gotten flack from certain people (coughRMScough) about not being GNU/Linux. Secondly, it seems to me that Linux isn't our soul focus. We range the whole gambit of computer related topics, with a large focus on UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems (or POSIX or whatever the term de jour is) as well as Free software (or FOSS or FLOSS, again take your pic of terms ;-) ). It might be a good idea to take these ideas into account. Towards that end, I'd like to nominate one idea that came up last night (and I appologize to whomever floated the idea for not crediting him, I simply can't remember who it was): FSA, the Free Software Association. -- Peter Snoblin - http://entropicaccess.net/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -----------------------------------------------------------------
