Is "Develop" a good term for Ubuntu-based distro?

Ah!!  This is a *very* valuable lesson in preparation for the 'real
world'. Cherish it and take it to hart.

Because you will find out one way or another that it matters not what
something 'is', it matters what it's named, and how it's presented and
marketed to others, specifically to people more important than you such
as your boss (evaluator) and your customers.

So the answer is: "Pick a name that makes your boss (evaluator) happy."
It gives him a feeling of having control, input and an f'ing clue. 

In the end all that matters is making important parties happy, not what
is the actual truth or content.  Then once you're at Mark Shuttleworth's
level, THEN you get to decide what to call stuff. Then you get to name
business operating systems after small mammals, baby froglets, African
philosophies, anything!!

As I said earlier, a VERY valuable lesson and you should feel fortunate
to learn it at this early stage.
