I agree, "User Linux" is misleading. I like the name Industry Linux, but we'd like to include GNU.
How about Bignu Linux. (Did you hear about the "Big New" Linux?)

Bignu is good, but how about: "Running Gnu" Linux?

it's got linux, gnu, a pun, etc. It's perfect.

2 puns, actually. That one there was the all-powerful dubble-whammy. I,
however, have been able to bag the wily and quite elusive tripple-whammy
pun. It knocked the wind out of me, and I fell off my chair.

As far as Magnum Linux goes... it would be neat, but most people I know
think of a gun when they hear Magnum... which may or may not be what we
are `aiming' for ;)

How about we name it Guinnix? The mascot/logo could be a guenea pig
holding up a cute tankard of the happy drink.
