It took me a while to realise this because by the time I learned about Debian they were already well into the secondary characters.
My favorite part remains naming the unstable release "sid".

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's neat, I didn't know that.
The name Debian comes from the original creator, Ian Murdock, and his wife Debra.
Debian sid makes so much sense now
Cool that someone put the pictures together. I knew they were named after Toy Story characters, but as someone who's only watched the movie once or twice, I didn't know all the minor characters, and never bothered to look them up.
How did I not notice this. Lol
This has been the case since Debian was launched, decades ago.
Yes, that's what the article says.
