You were misunderstanding me: I did not advocate Litrix -- I rather
warned against using it. The one who proposed it was advocating
Lintrix, saying it described what $new_FreeNX_name does, also
implying it would have an appeal through the similar sound of that
familiar brand. I argued that Lintrix didn't sound very similar, but
Litrix does. However, *IF* you used Litrix, its fate would become
more similar to fate of the Lindows name....

I don't know which post of mine you are referring to....
