oops here's the rest:
unstable is a permanent symbolic link to sid, as sid is always the
unstable distribution.
So far they have been characters taken from the movie "Toy Story" by
Pixar.
* buzz (Buzz Lightyear) was the spaceman,
* rex was the tyrannosaurus,
* bo (Bo Peep) was the girl who took care of the sheep,
* hamm was the piggy bank,
* slink (Slinky Dog) was the toy dog,
* potato was, of course, Mr. Potato,
* woody was the cowboy.
* sid was a boy next door who destroyed toys.
a little more description for those, like me, who have
never seen the movie.
