Gnoppix mockery

I see that Gnoppix is not related to Knoppix, being so gnamed only because it uses Gnome. To allay any confusion in the future, what if the makers regname it...excuse me, rename it--Gloppix?

well i think it is Gno because that is the beginning letters of Gnome. Where do you get the Glo from? with the ppix ending people would still associate it with knoppix. I think it is a decently named because it provides functionality similar to knoppix but uses Gnome. Just my t wo cents.

I didn't get it from anywhere in particular. I thought replacing "gnop" with "glop" in order to insult it was amusing, because "glop" sounds gross and insulting.
