what possessed the debian people to tack names on to the OS?

And there does appear to BE release numbers. So why promote the

do you really think that novices are lost with `goofy name' (as you

the right distribution for them IMHO. Or else get ready for an uphill
struggle, where distro names will be the least of their problems.
