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.''
