Debian release names
A sibling set for 19 agents. Every stable Debian Linux release since 1.1 has been named for a Toy Story character, chosen because early project leader Bruce Perens worked at Pixar, the studio behind the film. The tradition that proves the point. Every Debian release since 1996 has been a Toy Story character, because an early project leader worked at Pixar, and the unstable branch is permanently Sid. Forky, the next release in testing, keeps it going: he's the spork from Toy Story 4.
