January 15, 201412 yr This is software not old hardware. Let's also consider VMware's product growth. There was VMware Workstation, VMware GSX Server, Vmware ESX Server, VMware Player, ESX Server. Each name had a designation as to what it was intended for. unRAID Server OS is pretty complete in it's description for it's intention.

January 15, 201412 yr I guess it depends ultimately on what the resulting solution is... If it's a package that can be installed on any (supported) distro then something like unRAID-pkg If it's a distro by itself then maybe unRAID-[DistroName] e.g. unRAID-Arch or unRAID-CentOS.
January 15, 201412 yr look at xen as an example xen is the thing itself which is packaged in a variety of ways (deb, rpm etc) xenserver is a distro that combines xen with a bunch of other stuff and is a full server os this, to my mind, exactly describes unraid *except* that the current product is referred to as unRAID Server OS. Therefore something has to give (as you can't have 2 distinct things called Server OS without it getting v confusing) but which way you go depends on the direction they want to take the product, i.e. we're into marketing territory.
January 15, 201412 yr Bluntly - don't care what it's called. If this is genuinely a direction unraid is looking at - this is great news.
January 15, 201412 yr How about renaming current to unRAID Server OS USB edition new one becomes UnRAID Server OS Distro edition in short, these becomes unRAID UE unRAID DE
January 15, 201412 yr I think a KISS approach is needed here. We have: unRAID (package release on full OS) and unRAID Server
January 15, 201412 yr Author I think a KISS approach is needed here. We have: unRAID (package release on full OS) and unRAID Server I'm zoning in on this. I like it and is as you say, KISS. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
January 15, 201412 yr unRAID Host unRAID Host OS nuRAID (someone else suggested this, and I thought it was clever) unRAID (Distro) OS
January 15, 201412 yr If unraid becomes an installable package, then surely unraid classic becomes just another distribution with unraid installed? Therefore the problem goes away and there's only one unraid? (UnoRAID)

January 15, 201412 yr Author I should add you can recast your vote if you want, I thought that would be a useful feature as the thread evolved.
January 15, 201412 yr "unRAID Linux Edition" sounds ambiguous - unRAID as is is a Linux edition! I think having the distro as part of the name would be best in separating them out. unRAID OS CE - for CentOS unRAID OS AR - for Arch unRAID OS OS - openSUSE. Hrm, scratch that one
January 15, 201412 yr Author "unRAID Linux Edition" sounds ambiguous - unRAID as is is a Linux edition! I think having the distro as part of the name would be best in separating them out. unRAID OS CE - for CentOS unRAID OS AR - for Arch unRAID OS OS - openSUSE. Hrm, scratch that one I think this could go on too far. There are 100s of Linux's out there. I think simply referring to it as unRAID on Cent / Arch whatever is a far better way to go...
January 15, 201412 yr I changed my vote to the "KISS" option. Rock n' Roll all nite, and unRAID every day!

January 16, 201412 yr The unRAID layer on another operating system does not necessarily make it a server. Agree entirely. I do like 'unRAID classic' myself though! The classic seems to be only meaningful if you know the history of unRAID. Would you buy a software product called Classic? Linux Classic? Windows Classic? MAC OS Classic? Photoshop Classic? ... Sounds kinda cheesy, old, left behind. It really depends on where the core product/bread and butter is going to be for limetech. Coke Classic
