Sometimes FOSS can be a confusing source of programs to feed my Linux passion. I confronted that confusion the last few weeks while settling into a preferred Alarm Clock app for my GNOME desktop.

The only problem was two separate programs claim the same name. Since I use several computers regularly in addition to my test bench computer, I did not immediately realize the problem of multiple identities.
If everybody named their baby as cute baby what would happen. Why cant developers give their babies real names that will distinguish?
