No. That's it. The cool name, that is. We worked very hard on creating a name that would appeal  to the majority of people, and it certainly paid off:  thousands of people are using linux just to be able  to say "OS/2? Hah. I've got Linux. What  a cool name". 386BSD made the mistake of putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations into the name, and is scaring away a lot of people just because it sounds too technical.
