Debia

Deb + ia (from Nokia)

Nokian

Nok + ian (from Debian)

I sense an odd coincidence about how those names are formed...

  • Tabian is nice, but it is way too much similar to Taliban
  • Debbie sounds nice too, but it would be hard to find in search engines

My humble idea:

Nittux Linux
Nitlux

DebIT (case sensitive (because IT is Linux) Debian Internet Tablet) :D

As qole says, this is primarily an installer to allow you to install a Debian environment on your tablets.

"Debian Installer for Maemo".

This also benefits from fitting with the new Maemo trademark guidelines.

I'd call it Debin :D.

"Morpheus" sounds cool to me:D

Debbie is a "okay" name but maybe too similar.. even if there's some degree of humour in it being the ex wife of the founder of Debian.

The spins on Tabian (Tablian or Taliban!) are interesting too - Tablian isn't half bad either. Mae* names may be problematic as it's close to Maemo, and if there's anything N-D isn't, it's Maemo :)

Other suggestions from me:

Parasol, Beta4 :>, Navi (Serial Experiments Lain anyone?), Navian, Tabletin, Eva/Eve, Sofia (wisdom), Deblet (Debian+Tablet) maybe?

I like Nokian, and Deblet... but Nokian may not work as it's too close to Nokia.. check out what happened to Lindows *cough*.. I mean Linspire...

Dan Aykroyd and I vote for Slagathor. Slaggy for short. Cryoborg is another one of my favorites.
