First I'll say I don't really care what it's called as long as everyone knows what it means. Nobody seems to be proposing any names, just shooting down my proposals. Please feel free to propose something.

I would say that in common usage, Linux is thought to refer to a complete OS. e.g. - "RedHat Enterprise Linux". Realistically I'd even go so far as to say most Linux users mostly directly interact with userspace, and aren't intimately familiar with the kernel. Why can't we use Linux in a project name, if it is descriptive. I'm pretty sure it is legal, and it would give meat to the statements Jonathon and Ian made. -Brian P.S. - How about the "Tuxedo" community., or LX-Solaris??
