Debian developers are still deciding on the name for the successor to "Wheezy + 1", but should be announcing a name within the next month...

Anything is better than 'Wheezy'. I'm hoping for Zurg.

LOL, I just looked up character names of Toy Story. if they run out of names will they really have to use release names like Barbie and Mr. Pricklepants? Can't wait for Debian Buttercup also.

Debian has cartoon characters, and Apple has their cats. So once Debian runs out of Toy Story based characters, maybe they will Monsters Inc. names, like Debian Sully, or Finding Nemo , Debian Nemo...

Wonder what Apple will use after they run out of cats?

At one point, it would be better to just call it Debian. Whimsical names I think can only carry so much, until it just gets kinda ridiculous. Case in point again, with Apple and all their dumb cat based names. Just call it Debian and OSX, and be done with it!

I don't really want 'Debian Barbie', but 'Debian Buttercup' would be cool. Mr. Pricklepants is almost better than Zurg.

Not like there is a shortage of toy story charaters, I dont think they will run out any time soon. *thinks about the histroy of the debian release shedule* Maybe somewhere around 2100.

BTW, there is also short spinoffs (Small Fry, Hawaiian Vacation) that I think introducted new characters.

Well, they've done cats (animal) and its apple (vegetable) so whats next? Minerals!

OS XI.I 'Pitchblende'
OS XI.II 'Galena'
OS XI.III 'Cinnabar'
OS XI.IV 'Crocidolite'.

Nothing can be worse then Ubuntu release names.
