oops here's the rest:

unstable is a permanent symbolic link to sid, as sid is always the
unstable distribution.

So far they have been characters taken from the movie "Toy Story" by
Pixar.

    * buzz (Buzz Lightyear) was the spaceman,

    * rex was the tyrannosaurus,

    * bo (Bo Peep) was the girl who took care of the sheep,

    * hamm was the piggy bank,

    * slink (Slinky Dog) was the toy dog,

    * potato was, of course, Mr. Potato,

    * woody was the cowboy.

    * sid was a boy next door who destroyed toys.

a little more description for those, like me, who have
never seen the movie.
