Again, just my two cents worth as I’d really like to see this product grab some market share. Nice work.

p.s. Is there an email I can send you potential logos to?

The name shouldn’t matter, but it does. Just my two cents worth but most of my clients pay big money for said appraisal.

Aside from that, nice work.

This is a terrible name and I think it completely detracts from the project. I bought an Eee (rather than an AspireOne) because getting ubuntu up and rather was so much easier out of the box for the eee due to this project. I wouldn’t have found ubuntu-eee.com so easily, or taken it seriously if it’s name was the one proposed.
I think you’re doing the project a HUGE disservice by not keeping ‘ubuntu’ and ‘eee’ (or derivatives) in the name.

Why not put candidate names to a vote?

I saw your supposed “name change” from Google reader.

I agree with Jorge, EeeOS woud be good, eOS, E3OS, etc.

Something that identifies it with the Eee.

I don’t like the new name also. We have Mac OS, why not EeeOS or something that will tell us what we are talking about?

But I think you should go ahead with the Easy Peasy name anyway. It’s a pretty honest portrayal of the Ubuntu-ist mentality, and it will ensure that most corporate accounts will pick some other operating system for their Eee machines.

easy remix 1.0

My 2 cents.

What about NetbUNTU?
The UBUNTU for the netbooks. :)

Please (PLEASE!) don’t ruin a great thing. I love using Ubuntu Eee, and with a name like “Ubuntu Eee” you know exactly what it is. “Easy Peasy” is terrible, it doesn’t tell me what OS it is or what hardware it runs on. Plus, it doesn’t have a good ring to it, it sounds like a kids OS.

Please don’t change the name, I really think the old adage “if it ain’t broke…” fits here well. By all means get a new logo, just don’t destroy the name.

If I haven’t got through, how about a final idea…take a vote on it. I am sure you will see that the majority of users do not like the new name.

Easy Peasy only means that it’s easy – very easy

Are you an affiliate?
Also EasyPeasy?

I’m happy you are re-branding, but really the name is a really old colloquialism which is not used much. How does it translate?

“Less-than-4Gbyte-Ubuntu”

Or something that evokes that understanding. My regular Ubuntu is taking up about 40Gbytes. With the EeePC, the image needed to get down to 2Gbytes, but we are slowly creeping upwards as newer models evolve. Nonetheless, under 4Gbytes offers plenty of functionality and can be placed on nearly all the new generation of Mini-laptops.

If you wanted to sound geeky and follow tradition, you could have used PEWU: Peasy was Ubuntu-Eee.

Short meaningful names are better for distros, they stick faster.

Besides that it sounds ridiculous and infantile, not to mention unimaginitive.

I like the name – so there !

And I’ll try it on my Aspire One once it’s out :-)

Thanks for all your work!

Your name is not tech enough. Easy is good because it is descriptive. Peasy does not say anything, except that it is a rhyme. It may be difficult for those coming from cross-cultural backgrounds.

I pass on the name. I good logo won’t help, either. If I had a choice between installing something called Easy Peasy and Eeebuntu, I would choose the latter without knowing anything about either. One sounds like unappetizing food and the other sounds like an operating system.

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig! I’m sorry, but no logo, webpage or marketing will be able to make Easy Peasy sound the least bit professional… unless you target audience is professional 3rd graders.

Do you know if your 8.10 release will be an OOTB experience on the Acer Aspire One? I have made several attempts at installing Ubuntu 8.10 (based on guides on the Ubuntu wiki and the aspire one forums) and, in the end, it needed a custom-built 2.6.28 kernel to do it. As 8.10 runs 2.6.27 does that mean Aspire One will not be so ‘easy’?

Thanks,

Allan

Dude, you might know how to throw together a Linux distro, but a Marketing Genius you are not. People downloaded Ubuntu Eee because, well, it was Ubuntu for an Eee. You just cut yourself off from the very people that got you to where you were.

I’ve been using Ubuntu Eee since it first came out on a 701 (now a 900A), but I swear I’m not going to put something called “easy peasy” on my computer. period.

I was planning on getting the new version, but I just can’t bring myself to say “I’m running Easy Peasy” whenever someone asks me what OS I’ve got on my eee. :P
