I was curious as to why a Linux distro should give itself a word 
meaning "drunkard" and found the following on the website:

"Changing the name back to good old SOT Linux is now possible,
as Sweden is no longer our primary market focus.  Several
years ago we were obliged to change the name from SOT Linux,
because the word "sot"  means "disease" or "soot" in Swedish,
neither of which were considered desirable by our marketing
department."

Finns - I love them!
