Re: what's after slink
Hello, just my two cents to this topic: - Names should be short (= 6 signs) - I don't know The Toystory and I'm sure that it isn't kind of I film I should really watch, but it is a practical naming sheme (short names which everybody can speak and write) - The only case where I would accept longer names would be the Hitchhikers idea. (In contrast to other opinions mentioned here I think there are as many common things between Debian and Toystory and Debian and Hitchhiker -- and one common thing has the Hitchhiker more: IT IS TRUE REALLITY (with ;-) and without ;-) ... see at the people near you and look at yourself with the eyes of an Hitchhiker) - Another naming scheme without any background would be A, B, C... There where programming languages doing this for only three stages to get *very* popular... We would have time for 26 releases to find a better naming scheme. - Names are not importand for the thing itself. When we spend more time to find a good name than to make a good package then we are lost. That's my humble opinion. Kind regards Andreas. PS: My wife's name is Katrin and my son's Alexander, called Alex ... in case you need some further names :-).

I remember when I got my first debian cdrom (1.3.1); looking in the directory gave amongst other bo and boot. My first impression was that someone had screwed up when creating the boot directory the first time. It took a _long_ time for me to realize that bo was in fact the code name for the distribution (around the time I was in the process of becoming a developer, in fact; when I was just a user I never really understood what this bo was doing on my cd.
