Re: New distro name
I'll just add a quick note in support of Remix as a name -- that would also show respect for the Slax from which it came. We owe a debt to Tomas' work.

It died there. It was beaten to death with a stick! I still prefer UfoX but this is a democratic community. I ill prepare to make a logo now.

Re: New distro name
'Proteus' sounds nice but is too common - google gives 4,780,000 hits.
i think we can go with 'Porteus' - only 184,000
Porteus is a merge of 2 words 'portablility' and 'Proteus' (Greeks god of the sea, capable of changing his form at will - lets say that it's a synonym of 'flexibility').
So we have portable(small) and flexible(modular) in one name
Only 'fast' is missing, but it's still very good.

Re: New distro name
Since it sounds like the matter hasn't been settled yet, i like the start in 'Proteus':
"Prot" as in "proto" (the begining of something)...

Re: New distro name
A very good choice: PROTEUS and if its already taken out there, let's use PROTEUS-X
