Packaging system is not a big issue if you're a competent admin. Just compile the sources
The biggest problem I remeber of using slack was the too much work involved in order to have it running properly (I don't mean problems, just work). If you don't believe me, take a look at it's boot scheme. A Do-It-Yourself distribution, a lot of fun if you are learning Unix.
Everybody knows that a software project's name is
90% of its subjects. Accourding to previous experiences, I suggest the following guidelines:
Whatever the name you choose, we sure your name can be reduced to an acronym. Geeks love acronyms. Note:This not aply to some projects,
like the Personal Object Oriented Pinboard, or Private Internet Source Site
Add some weird symbols. The project was hard to code, so it has to be hard to refer to. Add exclamations, smiles, and in general, whatever symbol to generate a result that will confuse the reader in a way he/she can't tell if its a project name or it's writter emotions. Examples: ChilliSoft!, DivX;-)
Prepend some letter to the init of the name. 'i' or 'e' just perform well.
Finally, add a year where an important software event ocurred. This adds (borrows?) importance to your project. And, when you abandon your project because you're a fuck'in lazy coder, you at least will now when you started it.
Some examples:

Hope this helps. It helped me (to get fired)
Even If they haven't head of Cascading Style Sheets, the obligatory(in my opinion) search of it's future project name on google (and maybe freshmeat) will show that the name was taken
C Styled Script (CSS) is a powerful and easy PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE available available for Windows, OS/2 and Linux. CSS follows the C syntax very closely and programmers used to C, C++ and Java will immediately be familiar with it.
CSS is used like an interpreter: You write the program with your favorite editor and run it directly like any BAT, CMD or PERL script.
More than that, the CSS scripting engine can be integrated into your own applications as a macro language. CSS has 2 programming interfaces: A "C" API for virtually any 32 bit compiler, and C++ class interface for selected compilers.
I've seen this. A lot of times. Do we really need
another interpreted general all-in-one for-you-and-your-granma also-runs-in-commodore embed-in-your-apps c-like languaje?
9 out of 10 computer virii writers recomend
Norton Antivirus
Amavis
works great for email filtering, and can be configured to use a lot of antivirus (yes, there
are unix versions of almost all antivirii
software. File server anyone?)
Slashdot Mirror
Shouldn't the probes sent to mars have better resolution and more detailed photos?
Nice trick!
export PS1="[\W]-> "
and faster
for printing, gs will do the job
oh, wait...

I'd say more. What would be really cool is to be able to talk the phone/PDA/whatever

>(though Apple's site lists max res at 1280x1024
Yeah man. Mine max res is listed 800x600, but I use it at 1600x1200.
It only smells weird (kinda BigMac, you know, burned plastic and all that)...
