I remember when I got my first debian cdrom (1.3.1); looking in the
directory gave amongst other "bo" and "boot". My first impression was
that someone had screwed up when creating the "boot" directory" the
first time. It took a _long_ time for me to realize that "bo" was in
fact the code name for the distribution (around the time I was in the
process of becoming a developer, in fact; when I was just a user I never
really understood what this "bo" was doing on my cd.
Using something that is more clearly a codename (like Red Hat's
"Hurricane", for example) would be an advantage there.
