So we can appropriately name the Git repo, the Wiki, and any subsequent pages, subforums, subdomains, etc., the distro project needs to be named. As per discussion in the IRC, we have determined that the distro is to be Linux based, rolling release, semi-bleeding edge (wounded edge?), and pkgsrc for packages. Aside from that, it is mostly tentative, or hypothetical.

For the naming scheme, we have to several options. We could pursue an acronym, or go for something more abstract. Either way, we should put it to a vote - so, what are your name ideas? Hopefully we can all agree on one.

Why not simply christen it "Unixhub Distro".

I agree with Venam and Neo, just go with something obvious like "Unixhub Linux". It actually sounds pretty professional, kinda like Redhat Linux, especially when almost all distros have obscure names like Manjaro, Chakra, Antergos, etc.

Indeed, UnixHub Linux sounds nice.

Except for the fact Unixhub sounds like a cliche name for a Unix forum, and pairing it with Linux makes it sound as generic as possible. No disrespect to the Unixhub name, it's a great name and gets straight to the point, but this is a Distro that should be taken seriously. Just the word "hub" makes me think of a forum or community, when I see Unixhub Distro, I think of Unix Forum Distro. That sounds fucking lame and extremely unimaginative. We're all are smart, and we all have done some drugs in our time, at least be fucking creative with that smart psychedelic brain of yours.

So disappointed..

^ What mafia said. "UnixHub Linux" is just somewhat boring. Not like that's generally a bad thing, as Ippytrax pointed out it does have something professional about it - except I don't see this turning into a "professional" distro anytime soon. And I think the "Unix" and "Linux" clashes - like nobody's sure which one it actually is.

So far I actually like mafia's suggestion best. Even though it still has "Unix" for a Linux distro... How about "Liniwix"? (I think I just slaughtered it... maybe I should just STFU)

Not at all, I love the name and honestly I had a hard time deciding between Unix or Linux when conceiving Uniwix. I like your input.
