Excuse my ranting, but... Bricx-anything doesn't appeal to me (1); I'm not
fond of the "cx" pronounced at the end. Why not "Brick" or "Brix" instead?
BrixCC and BrixOS work, as do BrickCC and BrickOS.

(1) I dunno why; but it's a combination not used in English. The only
previous instance of this combination is the notable RCX, but that's an
abbreviation and technically not English (and as such it's touch-typed
differently). No words use the combination "cx"; in fact, some use the
reverse combination (e.g. "except"). Typing it just feels weird.
Hoping I don't start a flamewar... :-D
