Agreed on all the above.

I just learned from Wikipedia that residents of Indiana are known as "Hoosiers" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana 
). So my first suggestions for the "final" name for indiana is "HoosOS" or "HoosIX", the latter being referenced as an 
atomic test in Nevada of 3.4 kilotons on 03/28/62...
