I'm pretty much with everyone else. There could be a better name than than UserLinux considering this is a general rather than strictly desktop-based distribution. UserLinux does seem desktop-based only, but the name isn't the end of the world. I'm content with the name as is, but here's some names I've liked so far and some more I'm making up right now:

  • Magnum Linux (built around GNU)
  • Libre GNU/Linux
  • GoLinux (provided the appropriate domains and the name could be cleared)
  • General Linux (gets the point across, people will remember it too, appropriate though not exciting).
  • Prime GNU/Linux
Looking over those, I like GoLinux (if the name and domain stuff can be sorted out, needs to have golinux.com with it), Magnum Linux (a magnum is a container, by the way), and the ever so boring but remembereable General Linux.

How about GodLinux? Nice abstract, says nothing about Desktops or Enterprises.
