To outsiders it sounds hokey.
I followed OpenSolaris since b43 and when OI was announced, I seriously debated installing Solaris 11 Express on my home SAN instead primarily because OI's name being so, um, unfortunate. Then Oracle became more evil and I couldn't imagine installing their bits any longer, so I installed oi_151a (text installer). I've come to accept the name. Now I just chuckle at myself whenever I see "OpenIndiana" in the greeting banner. That said, I keep the fact I'm running OI to myself because I don't want to have to explain why it's named that way anymore. Personally, I think the acronym "OI" is fine and could easily be the basis for a cool logo. My hope is for the project to choose another name that leads to the same acronym.
Back on topic, I don't think "Illumian" is that great of a name either ;) Thanks, Kent ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
