As previously reported, Sun Microsystems has decided to follow in the footsteps of superstore mega-monolith Wal-Mart by selling bargain PCs running a customized variant of the Linux operating system. Today, Sun Vice President John Loiacono announced the brand name for the line of inexpensive PCs:
“UNIX variants have traditionally had “ux” in the name, or at a bare minimum, “x”. For example, HP’s HP/UX, Apple’s early A/UX, Linux, QNX, AIX, and even OS X. Both of our previous Unix based operating systems, the BSD based “SunOS”, and the System V compliant “Solaris” both violated this naming principle. We won’t be making that mistake again. The new Linux variant will combine the name ‘Sun’ and ‘Linux’ into the powerhouse appellation of S-ux. We are confident that this brand will stick to the minds of consumers and be truly unforgettable to geeks everywhere.”
