Name change, like renaming US Steel to USX.

I always thought it was "No Such Agency". Oh well. Learn something new every day.

BTW, I think arkOS is really aimed more at the "de-clouding" movement 
and making that path easier for people that don't want to spend lots of 
time dinking around with computers. Maybe things like RAID would come 
along later, but they are less interesting to the project, I'd bet. I 
think they are more about decentralizing the web for security purposes 
on cheap hardware (pi targeted first). 

Although with No Such Amendment working towards (or already having?) 
quantum computing, it might not be all the relevant:

...although no one here would be all that surprised by this 
"revelation", I bet. There are probably still reasons to de-cloud 
regardless, even if No Such Amendment is reading everything regardless 
of crypto.

I came across Amahi, which is a home server package that runs on Fedora and Ubuntu. It has packages for Dokuwiki, Mediawiki, backups, VPN, ownCloud and movies. It uses ReadyDLNA for streaming media and XBMC appears to be able to talk to it. Maybe Raspberry Pi could be used with XBMC to connect them to Amahi for movies and videos.
