  1. Simple Solution on Linux's Difficulty with Names · · Score: 1

    Quite easy for those unconfortable with different names: NICKNAME / Alias.

    There are 2 ways to do so:

    Text mode: alias mynewname="OldBadName"
    --add it to ~/.bashrc & ~/.profile

    Graphic Mode - for mouse pushers: Redefine your menu entirely. On KDE, right-click "K", pick "Menu Editor" and change as wish. Rename Xine as "Media Player", redefine GIMP as "Photoshop" or "Image Editor".

    --Even better, go to "Configure Panel", Layout, tab "Menus" and choose mode "Description (name)".

    Quite simple, once you know how-to. The NetAdm can do once on whole linux network, so "wimmigrated" users dont suffer the pains of learning new names...
