Slink is the current stable version of Debian 2.1r3.  The code name
"slink" comes from the Slinky character in the movie Toy Story.  

Potato is the current unstable version of Debian 2.2.  The code name
comes from the Mr. Potato Head character in the movie Toy Story.

The source of these code names started from one of the previous Debian
Project Leaders, Bruce Perens(http://www.perens.com/), who
works(worked?) for Pixar Animation Studios(http://www.pixar.com/), the
force behind the Toy Story movies.
