What a weird coincidence!  I have myself used the term "GNUNG" to name
machines and an hypothetical company that would work exclusively
offering services/support for GNU-based systems.  I guess I've chosen
it because of my slight fixation on palindromes.  Perhaps it was a
somewhat obvious choice.

I confess, however, that I don't like the idea of the GNU project's
distribution of the GNU system not being called GNU, let alone being
called of something that explicitly says that it's not GNU.
