Strangely enough I remember Ubuntu by version and Debian by codename, but I suppose having full version string (ex. 8.0.0) in the tile could be beneficial. > >I'd rather > >keep the selection simpler than having people accidentally launch AMIs > >on platforms they probably don't want. +1 snip > >3) As for 2; IMHO I think its too long, but if a bunch of folks agree, > >we could do this.

GNU/Linux shouldn't be replaced as this is the part of the full name for Debian and it indicates that it's Linux based not BSD or Hurd, so I won't agree that it should be ditched.

This looks to be reasonable but if we want to save some bytes we can go even further with: 8.1+aws0 more like deb versioning :-) > Thank you for the interesting statistics :-) I was pleasantly surprised to > see Debian being in more popular position than Ubuntu Server in OS images > list https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/b/2649367011/ Isn't this mainly due to same name/title for all the Debian AMIs? I'm basing my question on my experience with AWS and customers I'm dealing with and lot's of them are using Ubu and not Debian. -- |_|0|_| | |_|_|0| "Heghlu'Meh QaQ jajVam" | |0|0|0| -------- kuLa --------- | gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x58C338B3 3DF1 A4DF C732 4688 38BC F121 6869 30DD 58C3 38B3
