It was recently announced that the next Debian stable release, the one after Lenny, will be called Squeeze.

This continues the theme of naming Debian stable releases after characters from the Disney/Pixar movie Toy Story.

The Squeeze Character isn't a terribly well known one, but I'm sure that will change now!

Excitement and curiosity got to me so I watched Toy Story again last week. (first time since whenever it was in the 90's).

I swear, my eyes were open, but I never saw the "squeeze" coming. ;)

OK, sorry about that...

Rock on, Debian!

I was rooting for "Stinky" or "Barbie"

"Barbie" sounds like a Suse or Mandriva release. "Stinky" would be an appropriate name for Windows.

Maybe it's an offhanded reference to the band squeeze, since so many debian users have been "tempted by the fruit of another..."

Ok, bad joke...
