Good point - we can certainly do with a name that has nothing to do
with Knoppix as well (at a min transform it to be 'Arabbix' - the 2-b's
are to distinguish it from the various Arabix things on the 'net). Any
other suggestions ? Anmar, whatcha think ?

I was not aware of Morphix; Anmar/others any comments ?

Thanks Ra'id for the pointers.
