With Google now using "Buzz" for its service, what names can Debian GNU/Linux still use for future releases ??
Debian's Toy Story-based naming history through the present has been hamm, slink, potato, woody, sarge, etch, lenny, squeeze, sid According to List of Toy Story characters at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Toy_Story_characters , remaining unused main names are andy, bo/peep, buzz/lightyear, hannah, hockey, mike, rex, rolypoly, spell, wheezy If Google's current use of "buzz" would lead to future confusion should the Debian Project maintainers choose the same name, then would perhaps "lightyear" be a clearer Debian release name (assuming thit this would ever become necessary in the distant future) ?? |

Hopefully we'll all be enjoying Debian Wheezy in the very near future. |

Debian Codger, Debian Dotard, Debian Geezer. The Linux for the rest of us! |

Debian 1.1 was Buzz: http://www.debian.org/distrib/archive Bo and Rex have also been used. Plus Toy Story 3 will be out this summer. |

Yes. We should all petition Pixar to put some extra characters in Toy Story 3 to ensure that Debian doesn't run out of names in the near future.... :-) Anyone got naming suggestions for new Toy Story characters? |

Sander, pay attention! Az and I just did! Ubuntu Carping Crotchet. |

How about an iPad? And there were lots of suggested offshoots for that... |

@ Sander Name one blow. We'll call it a wolf but we all know it'll be a drug dealer :) |
