Of course, this could be code-names but I thought of naming the components of OBOS. I thougt of something like "Odin" (highest wiking god) for the kernel, "Thor" (god of thunder and flashes = sound and light) for the media-server, "Freya" (god of fertility) for the GUI and so on. > Two names I've been using in relation to the GUI work > I've done are Terra and Magma (poking fun at the names Aqua and Luna). > Perhaps there's something there? I think that the fact of making fun of Aqua is too obvious in Terra. Furthermore I don't like the idea of making any connections to the GUI of Windows (=> Luna). BeOS is something completely different! (But generally I also like your idea of using "elemental" names!) Greetings Eckard
