[Actionchix] *Vote: Linux Chix mag "audience", "title" and "motto" - Closes Saturday Sept. 15th

[Tricia Bowen]

The age of the name is what gives it it's familiarity and makes it
recognizable and eye catching to a tech audience. It's a good length for a
name that will be followed by a subtitle. I'm partial to 'lazygurl' myself
but that will probably not get a lot of votes.  'LNXCHX' is another
suggestion for a name.
