Here
is where I got the name 'PrecisioNiX':
Precision: as in doing something precisely
nix: as in Unix, Linux the *nix means its a nix that we call precisionix.
It is based on Linux which is cool.
By the way: that you VERY much for all of your hard work, I don't know how
to thank you; but it is MUCH appreciated!
Also, i will only be getting internet access at home in about three weeks
now so I will only be able to get started on deploying our web site then.
For now I can only do concept designs and get it set up on my home server
for testing purposes :(
