8:34 PM EST 		With Google now using "Buzz" for its service, what names can Debian GNU/Linux still use for future releases ?? Debian's Toy Story-based naming history through the present has been hamm, slink, potato, woody, sarge, etch, lenny, squeeze, sid

According to List of Toy Story characters at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Toy_Story_characters , remaining unused main names are andy, bo/peep, buzz/lightyear, hannah, hockey, mike, rex, rolypoly, spell, wheezy

If Google's current use of "buzz" would lead to future confusion should the Debian Project maintainers choose the same name, then would perhaps "lightyear" be a clearer Debian release name (assuming thit this would ever become necessary in the distant future) ??

Bo and Rex have also been used. Plus Toy Story 3 will be out this summer.

:-)

Anyone got naming suggestions for new Toy Story characters?
