it's a nice idea! we can keep the acronym DSL, thus saving history, original name, google cache and so on...and start talking about diesel, which is an easy-to-remember name.

I have to stress, though,that dsl became famous even with a not-easy-to-remember acronym, and despite crictics about the "damn" word in it.

I like the idea, anyway.

I borrowed the fish elements from daveed to convey the notion of clustering.

I could get behind "Diesel" also.  The post sent me searching the web for free images.  You could have the rear view of a tanker with a hazmat label with Tux over the letters "DSL" and the version number.  <grin>
