we have had plenty of trolling and takes time to settle the nerves to a
normal state. Now I am very happy to read this diatribe came to mutual
understanding. Ed is a valuable member of this community, he is well
focused to develop an important software application which will benefit
any free desktop operating system out there.

at last my suggestion for a name is 'netplug' but I also like netbarx
nevermind for the typos and distortions. netbark is a nice one actually

Of course systemd is a poltical issue. I agree on that. Systemd is a

Hi,

Although, some comments were mean, I apologize for my behaviour. This
apology has to be taken in the light, that I wish Devuan to continue
developing into a distribution, that can be used by all those who
respect freedom of choice. As I am one of those who became uneasy with
the introduction of systemd and the way it is taking over what we know
of Linux, I makes sense that I forget, but I am no living human
perfection.

Hopefully, many accept this apology.

The offence is right, as instead of referring to useless creatures we should
pay homage to the Master Species instead and name netman "netmeow".

..also, I just wanted to point out how easily your netbarx name 
is abused, it only takes "getting one letter wrong", such cheap 
attacks will happen "just because", because they are so easy to 
do, and because the other side appears to need such political etc 
victories to compensate for the absence of their techological etc 
performance merit.

What I like about the name netbarx is that it is unique.
I think you'd have a hard time finding another project called barx.

I'm really tired, when soneone talks about a project called, say,
squid, and wondering what it is, trying to find it in google and
finding nothing but articles on cephalopoda.

A good name should be pronouncble and unique.  netman is pronouncable
bbut not unique.

If you had read his email, instead of just throwing insults to him,
you would have realised that Peter was not throwing any pun at you. 

Since the choice of this bloody name is just yours, I don't get why
you are making all this fuss about asking people what they think, and
letting they believe that you are really interested in their
opinion. 

Go name whatever you want as you like, but please stop pretending that
you care about what others have to say, because it is obvious that you
don't give a shit.

I would nominate netservant as the name, but alas, it has already been taken.

It seems to me that focusing on 'net' is a red herring.  The name doesn't really
have to map to the function.  The name should be memorable once it is

Hi,

It is amusing to be exposed to so much appreciation of genuine users
and trolls alike. Yes, I bark quite a lot: Bow wow, ww,
grr! Wuff, wu.

However, my ethical principles do not permit me to name the project
after myself. I am a servant here, therefore I cannot consider myself
like a lord. Sorry for acting like this, but working for the cause of
open source software is essentially helping those who cannot afford
expensive software and expensive hardware. Yes, I know what I am
saying dissonates a lot with what the modern capitalist world
professes, but I believe firmly in a world of cooperation instead of
savage competion. The lesser gifted are no subhuman beings. They
deserve a world that helps them instead of one that punishes them for
not being gifted.

What I did, is to help, and I am satisfied of being trolled for it and
sometimes abused.

Thanks for your understanding.

Edward



Good grief.  You are NOT barx.  So how can using that combination of letters be 
naming something after 'yourself'.  In fact you are not even Edward Bartolo.

Hi,

It is amusing to be exposed to so much appreciation of genuine users
and trolls alike. Yes, I bark quite a lot: Bow wow, ww,
grr! Wuff, wu.

However, my ethical principles do not permit me to name the project
after myself. I am a servant here, therefore I cannot consider myself
like a lord. Sorry for acting like this, but working for the cause of
open source software is essentially helping those who cannot afford
expensive software and expensive hardware. Yes, I know what I am
saying dissonates a lot with what the modern capitalist world
professes, but I believe firmly in a world of cooperation instead of
savage competion. The lesser gifted are no subhuman beings. They
deserve a world that helps them instead of one that punishes them for
not being gifted.

What I did, is to help, and I am satisfied of being trolled for it and
sometimes abused.

Thanks for your understanding.

Edward

 That's too bad cause I honestly think netbarx is a real good name.
 I urge you to reconsider, at least let it be included in vote.



It is NOT named after you, Edward Bartolo, but does incorporate part of a nick 
you use elsewhere.  I'm sure that there are plenty of people on this list that 
do not know about edbarx.  netbarx is a bit of a play on words - barks > barx 
which makes it fun and unique IMO.   If enough people like it and it wins the 
naming contest, would you nullify the vote?  Just curious . . .

Hi,

I will NOT name the project after myself; I even abstained from
voting. My project was written to HELP; I am not after
self-appraisal... In fact, after just two days back in August I had
already a functioning backend and GUI, but I continued to listen to
what others wanted. I could have stayed with what just worked for me
but I didn't.

This interpretation by some that I am after self gratification is
wrong. Working for Devuan and free software does not earn me money: it
only earns me more fatigue and less free time.

You really want a name that lets an user googling for it show only related
pages -- as this is what users do when they have trouble.  Sadly, "netman"
is already taken by a quite large number of software projects and services.

Having more users means more testers, more contributors.  Thus, you do
benefit from having your software widely available.

I'd strongly recommend not making netman Devuan-specific.  If you get it
into Debian, it will migrate to most derivatives.  And even a small
percentage of that is some serious user base.

At first, I'd propose putting the package into experimental, until you
consider it ready for wider use.

As there are DDs on this mailing list, having netman accepted into Debian is
something we can help with.

I think having a web page associated with the sf.net account will help too, 
some simple html tricks might help it to come up a little bit in the google 
rankings, and maybe try the same for other search engines like duckduckgo if it 
won't hurt your google ranking to do so. It could be helpful regardless of a 
name change, I still sometimes look at sf.net when I'm wanting to find new

Hi,

If the new name is not unique, it doesn't help much to rename netman
as potential users will still find difficulty locating it. One
particular reply suggested me to upload the source tarball to sf.net
which is a good idea and which I am considering.

I am trying to help potential users of netman, because writing an open
source software project just to upload it somewhere where it is
virtually inaccessible, does not make sense especially considering the
many hours I sacrificed to write and debug it.

Please, stop associating my motivation to make netman known to stroke
my ego: this is NOT the case. At my age, I do not need to stroke my
ego, but I do want others to benefit from my own work even though I
will not get paid for it. This is the spirit of writing projects for

I would also like to add, that at this age, writing a project like

Not absolutely sure, but Windows was the first place I saw where people

Respondents are free to write clearly why they choose a name implying

Proud of what? I am not that kind of person. Netman had only proven
that I could do it with some help. It is immature and childish to be
proud like that: the world does not need to revolve around me; I am
only an organism with a lifespan of around seventy years living on a
planet that is 5500 Million Years old. My existence is therefore
effectively nothing.

Humour is vastly culture dependent.

This is false.

While I was writing the project I was open to many suggestions. I even
implemented ideas with which I was in disagreement. The "obstinacy" on
my part was always the result of failing to follow suggestions due to
unexpected output from commands which meant I could NOT follow those
suggestions. So, in those situaitions I had to find a way out by
myself. The reason for this "obstinacy" is I couldn't allow myself to
waste time if another solution was more time efficient for me.

> you get terribly upset if somebody makes a joke out of it...

I didn't get upset. For example, today, I didn't quit using the
computer because I got upset, but because I had other errands. My life
involves more than using a computer:  I have to eat every day and that
requires me to earn a living which takes time.

But then I started to think: If it were called nm-devuan, that would
certainly let people know that Devuan is more than just a few
malcontents playing whack-a-mole with Debian and Freedesktop.

Eheheheh! I didn't have in mind Windows at all when I suggested ifwiz,
to be honest :) I haven't seen a Windows installation in the last 15
years or so, so if there are wizards over there, their power has not
had any effect on me lately. Or perhaps I should put back on my
tinfoil-hat...

The only "wizard" I remember was an icon in the front page of the
setup tool of KDE 1.something  :D

Ah.  The interactive wizards that run your system for you.
A trendy name, suitable if you like the Windows approach.
So let netwiz be the GUI front end, and let netmgr be the back end.
Let us install one without the other, and write new front ends far

I suggest netwiz. Or ifwiz, which does not exist on google. I would
avoid ipwiz, since there apparently exists already a tool named ipwiz

I still don't understand why you persist asking for feedback if then
you don't tolerate feedback that is not in line with what you
expect. I understand that everyone is proud of their own little
babies, but I pesonally find more interesting names which suggest a
pun, either implicitly of explictly.

Conman would be a nice joke, IMHO, exactly because of it explicitly
suggesting "fraudster" while being something else, but obviously you
are free to name your little baby as you want. Just don't get why you
want to share your personal murmurations about your own choice, given
that you don't want anybody to interfere with such choice in practice,
and you get terribly upset if somebody makes a joke out of it...

Let's take a moment to grossly oversimplify what the software does! It

Ho Edward,

actually I didn't want to share my first spontaneous idea, but now I
kind of have to, although you sometimes seem to excessively like
getting things wrong ;) 

I was going to suggest GUIP (from gui and ip). A quick web search then
led me to the urbandict, which says that this unique combination of
letters is already being used in a rather unfavorable sense.

In exactly this sense: Let's leave "transmuting into organic fertilizer"
to the fraudsters and break up this boring and somehow quite exhausted
"network - connection - manager" triangle...

Hi All,

It nice to learn from trolls that my little "pitbull", netman, is a
thorn deeply in their side. But, let us discuss the new name, so that
users would find it more readily while searching the internet. Yes,
trolls do not like this move which shows it is a good move.

What about: "nm-pitbull" in honour of the trolls? :D


Thanks to all Trolls.

'Netconman' is very similar to the existing 'connman', and 'Network

Hi All,

I did a google search for netman but I was presented with several
pages of results always pointing to other similarly named commercial
projects. Therefore, I am thinking about changing netman's name into a
unique name so that users would be able to be directed to the proper
sites.

I am suggesting this name:
nm-devuan for network manager Devuan.

I am open to other suggestions.
