VeryLongScreenCable : a new freenx name

Hi everyone,
As a true lover of the freenx work, I'm pleased to propose the following name:

Very Long Screen Cable


Let me Explain it: As a sysadmin of the Geneva Observatory, I have the duty to find words which explain in a comprehensive way what a software is for.

So I just tell them:
  • Hey men, this software allows you to connect to your main station from everywhere.
  • Like for instance:
  • Imagine that you are at work.
  • And you use FreeNX from your machine to your machine (you don't see the point.. then wait)
  • FreeNX is just like the cable of your screen, nothing more !
  • When you log out from FreeNX, it is like pulling away your screen cable.
  • Your applications still run on your machine, But you can not see them.
And now, listen to the beautifull:
  • Imagine that you have to leave your work to go home
  • But you have to finish your job too.
  • So now you would like to pull a VeryLongScreenCable from your work to your home to continue your work
  • Then...
  • Just use FreeNX at home, and you will get your screen back as you left it at your job
  • The application will be there as if you will be at your work !
  • Now... I'm sure that you do see the point... do you ? :)
  • And unbelievably, it is damn fast and really clear.
So after some thinking, I thought that the name should contain information for non expert. I mean do you think that many people knows what does mean X.



Well, this was for the explanation.. then let's jump to the icons, yep there is also icon :)

OKay... let's check them out.

1) This one I feel it more than self explanotory, It is just a representation of a VeryLongScreenCable, so long that it turns around the earth.









2) This One, is just a play around the vlsc letters.

- I thought the the thing the more important was the screen, so that way we have a BIG 's'

- the 'c' will look like a 110/220 Volt plug at the end of the long cable materialized by the 's'

- the 'vl' are small, and give a stylish 's'



This was my big 2 cents to the new freenx project.

a big Thanks for the great job you, men, are doing.
