+## Why the name BurmillaOS?
+
+The "Rancher" in BurmillaOS's predecessor RancherOS came from the [Pets vs Cattle](https://cloudscaling.com/blog/cloud-computing/the-history-of-pets-vs-cattle/) analogy.
+While RancherOS was founded on the "cattle" approach, actually, servers often enough end up being pets.
+Thus, the name [Burmilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmilla), a breed of pet cats, was chosen.
