Well technically it's called "PowerPlant Linux" to avoid these types of
things, but we abbreviate it as PowerPlant all the time.  I appreciate
the heads up and will have our attorneys look into any trademark
problems.  The name was originally Linux Factory, but another company
got the URL before me and then did nothing with it, and as I check
today, it seems that they have let the dummy web site lapse and are just
cyber squatting on it.
