Dear developers of CentOS, I plan to create/start Desktop version/fork/respin of CentOS, practically just to add useful packages, modified repository with prioritized third-party repositories, maybe few tweaks, and built ISO and repositories, so we are not limited to messing with manually adding third-party repositories and dealing with dependency problems. Basic repositories will remain from CentOS project.
I plan to latter on ask about endorsement, maybe even hosting/mirroring project or even running it under the CentOS project flag. I will have to formulate my goals for the project and see how it resonates with you, developers of CentOS.
For the time being, to keep the ball rolling, I have question about the name that you find acceptable (even in the case that I can not find common ground with CentOS project and it remains on the sidelines):
- CentDOS (Community Enterprize Desktop Operating System)
- DentOS (Desktop Enterprize Operating System)
- CentOS-DE (Community Enterprize Operating System - Desktop Edition)
- Any new suggestion?
I personally and few other people like the first name, CentDOS.
CentDOS has negative connotations, both with respect to MS-DOS, and Denial of Service. As well the td letter combination sounds a little clumsy.
CentOS - DE or CentOS Desktop would be perfectly acceptable, as long as the CentOS project itself was fine with you using their trademark.
You could also be a little adventurous and call it something entirely different, like Chocolate. (though that probably popped into my head because of Linux Mint).
