Yep, I kept rolling around ideas of what to call the site. I didn't know what I would be able to accomplish with the sites functionality or if it would be used by anyone. I thought of Carpe Diem, which morphed into Carpe Vita, Carpo Spiritus, Carpo Vita. Seize Life, Seize your free Spirit.

Anyway I've been head strong on what Linux can do and Tux the Penguin was a Cute Icon/Mascot so eventually CarpeTux "Seize the Linux" is just what it wound up being the night I got tired of trying to get the right name and registered the domain.

Carpe Diem...
Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.
Dr. Seuss

Carpe Diem...
The lone fisherman sits quietly
Along the bank of the trickling stream...baited hook,
Long casts into the shadows
Waiting so patiently
Wishing...Wanting
Imagining the beast...The fight
The battle between them.
He mimics this movement
Repetitiously for hours.
Sitting on the bank
Thinking silently to himself
About the meaning of this day
The fight...The battle.
Yet as he quietly watches
The trickling stream as it daintily flows away
Seeing nothing, but the shadows being cast by himself
and the trees above, he can’t help but smile.
The battle is over. The day is done. Tomorrow will see another sunrise.
The Day by Dawn Shirley

Carpe Diem...
Seize the day, before it seizes you.
