We already have issues (just by nature) with confusion on the different parallel generations (4, 5, 6). The fact that "CentOS" is an acronym should not be taken too seriously, as it easily stands on it's own as a word with a brand behind it. "CentDOS" is too close to MS-DOS, which could be taken as some sort of free DOS replacement. ❧ Brian Mathis
