Just to be a pedant, Knoppix, Ubuntu and Debian* are all distributions of just one OS, namely Linux and Java isn't an OS.

*more to the point, Knoppix and Ubuntu are in themselves derivatives of the Debian distribution.

I never in this world thought I would say this to you... but.... Don't bet on Java not being an OS. I have a copy of the pile of **** that a friendly hacker left on my computer.

Apart from Tones answer, it still doesn't answer the question about why folk give these OS's such silly names. At least WorkBench, MorphOS and (dare I say it) Windows actually means something and make a bit of sense, I just can't figure out why whomever decides then names think that they must come up with some totally absurd titles :)

(and googling for it doesn't help either, hmmm... google now there's another stupid name... :))

This all just show a huge lack of imagination.
