It's named "serenity" OS after the serenity prayer recited in AA meetings, because the developer started this as a way to keep his mind occupied to overcome alcoholism. I think it has been a wild success for that purpose and is one of the more beautiful examples of using software for the promotion of personal excellence rather than commercial excellence. Obscurity is not an impediment to accomplishing this goal.
