Well, I don't think the GNU project would like this.
It makes you think all the software from the distro will
be sanctionated by the FSF, that I don't know if it is
teh case.

So, I think Gnuntu or GNuntu would be better, though I
still prefer Ubuntu GNOME.

I think GNuntu would still be confused with GNU (the G in GNOME is GNU
anwyay, afterall). While GNOME is a GNU project and factually describing
it as such should be fine, I'd want to include the FSF in anything that
would sound like it was FSF/GNU endorsed. And I think that the FSF would
only endorse it if it were fully free at all levels.

I'm still partial to GNObuntu, but that's probably because I always
pronounce the "G" so there's no negative association. Ubuntu GNOME sounds
fine to me too.
