ROFL. I would have done something similar. Like name it after the 7 dwarfs or some other cartoon.

The reason is that Bruce Perens worked for Pixar? when they made toy story.

You missed one:

Sid - Debian unstable for ever

(named after villian of movie who broke toys)

[Takis]

Yeah because it's the most unstable, it's always breaking your system (your toy).

Conveniently, Sid also stands for "Still In Development".

[nrayever]

nice coincidence :grin:

Yes, the names come from Mark Shuttleworth's head.
