I don't think it's a good idea to have a name starting with Gnu* or Gn*,
because people (including myself) associate Gnu* to GNU, so to something
totally FREE in the sense of GNU (so no adobe-flash, no rar packages, little
java and so on).

But we know well that Ubuntu isn't so good for free software (
http://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html#Ubuntu) so I suggest to avoid
the use of GN (and more of GNU) to start the name. Just the G, or Gnom.
If someone want a free Ubuntu-based distribution, there is always gNewSense.

Or, at least, we can stop think of an Ubuntu distribution with Gnome and
just an apt-based distro with Gnome3 (as it was the vanillux proposal).
