The codenames for every major Debian release are named after characters from Pixar’s Toy Story franchise. Debian’s unstable release is fittingly named after Sid, an unstable character from the Toy Story movies.

    I love the Linux world’s tradition of less serious names, in general.

    I hate it. Which came out later, “stretch”, “Woody”, “Jessie”? It’s so annoying to have to look that up.

      Which came later, Windows XP, ME, or Vista? Sure, you probably have that memorized, but if you didn’t it wouldn’t be immediately obvious. That’s just a problem with using codenames instead of numbers, nothing to do with unserious names. At least Debian releases have reasonable version numbers alongside the codenames, unlike some other operating systems!
