My problem with the name is that it conveys two different things, none
of which I want in my linux distribution.
The term "Beefy" does not chime with a lean and efficient distribution.
Lean? Fedora? Shome mishtake shurely.
The term "Miracle" is something that is even worse. It is
some
phenomenon that can not be explained (except by divinity). Do we really
want that in a linux distribution?
I think that "miracle" is more often used as a metaphor. As a
description of free (as in gratis) software that's better than
software you have to pay for, "miracle" isn't entirely inappropriate.
