That is not actually where the name "Linux" comes from... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#Naming There is actually an OS I have used with a similar meaning name however: XINU ("Xinu Is Not Unix"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinu

The most famous (and I believe he original) is GNU's Not Unix.

FYI: XINU was started in 1979 and GNU was in 1983.

It might have been nice if someone had pregenerated a list of files from, say, a fresh BSD installation, and then randomly chose locations to put target files, and had that as an option (rather than using your own data).

Maybe, but what would you gain from that? You don't get paranoid traversing directory structures with bash, rsync, find, cmd.exe nor Windows Explorer. Nor do you complain about games that have file browser built in for loading and saving games (Eg OpenTTD). These guys haven't been secretive about the nature of the game so it seems to me that the complaint here is strictly arbitrary.

BTW, given that it's GGJ game, there should be source code somewhere available (all Global Game Jam entries have to provide source code and all assets on CC BY-NC-SA or compatible license).
