I think the best Linux acronym is the Hurd
(http://www.gnu.ai.mit.edu/software/hurd/hurd.html):
>According to Thomas Bushnell, BSG, the primary architect of the Hurd,
>```Hurd' stands for `Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons'. And, then, `Hird'
>stands for `Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth'. We have here, to my
>knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive
>acronyms.''
