I spent a while coming up with more recursive acronyms and other ideas;
I'm not claiming they're any good, but they might spark off ideas in
others...
RING Is Not Glint
Also possible: King, Wing, Sing. Ding if you want a `D' for Debian
in there. SLing or THing if you don't mind a useless letter.
FINER Is Not Erik's RPM
WEINER emphatically is not Erik's RPM
(I -think- Erik Troan is the one responsible for RPM. Correct me if
I'm wrong...)
Also possible: Diner, Liner.
Here's one I like:
AMUSE: Amuse manages Unix systems excellently.
(`Unix' could be changed to "users'" if necessary.)
For those without acronymphomania, how about `MileStone' (with or without
the BiCapitalisation), `Promise' or `Namesake'?
Now about `Naiad' (pr. to rhyme with eye-had) the system management nymph?
Or `Jonquil' (because it does't admit to being Narcissistic)?
`Threefold'? A bit long, but "its uses are threefold: package
manipulation, system maintanence and network management".
Names starting with `D':
Debut? No, I think that would get old rather quickly... Decoy? I don't
know -why- I'm suggesting that... Deepen? Defray? Dram? Dint? Datum?
Dogged?
Going with religion: Dogma? Deacon?
Some starting with `deb': Debby, Debra, Deborah, Debrief, Debris, Debacle,
Debate, Debauch, Debility. Unfortunately, most words starting with
`deb' have some negative connotations...
Other random nice-sounding words: sunbeam, sublime, noble, emblem.
Watts: Works at twice the speed (and then some)
Sold: Speed-of-light Debian
Datsol: Debian at the speed of light
All very inane, I know, but this might trigger an idea in someone
else's mind...
Cheers,
