Curious about the name choice, it's a lovely word, but is it right for an OS? I *could* see me not using the OS because of it's name.
Like I said it's a nice word but I can't/don't know how to pronounce it. As a self employed Computer Technician it's bad enough trying to promote Linux without giving all 3 (in my mind, Lee-nux, Lie-nux, Lyn-nux) possible ways of pronouncing it.

My attempt at pronouncing it would be hay ku (hay rhyming with may and ku rhyming with two). Which, here in Scotland, would sound like I'm trying to catch the attention of a Cow.

It may seem petty or shallow, but I just don't like the name. I love the project however, I loved BeOS and any attempt to recreate/improve it is a great idea.

Well done.

Alan.
