Heh, I had to look it up too when it was first appearing in connection
with, if I remember correctly, CentOS 6, or maybe earlier--or maybe later.

Shucks, I remember when I was studying for Cisco exams in the early double
oughts, would see things like ATM here, and think, Wow, they must offer
high speed Internet.  

I never feel embarrassment about not knowing acronyms anymore. Of course,
I've been married more than once, so I'm also fairly inured to criticism.
