I only downloaded 'Debian 7'. Darac> Wheezy is a brand. It's not really any different than "Snow Darac> Leopard" or "XP". Do you expect people to care that one is Darac> "10.6.8" and the other "5.1.2600"? Mikael makes a good point even if the tone in the rest of his email was totally uncalled for (and, IMHO, plain wrong - mailing lists rule, dude!). Debian does not need to follow the stupidity that Apple and Microsoft have blessed us with. Call it "Wheezy." Or call it "Debian 7.0." Or even "Debian 7.0/Wheezy." But not two different names, both seemingly randomly used in different parts of the same documentation chain, for the same stable release. It brings no value to anyone who is not intimately familiar with the development process (i.e. users). I've used and evangalized Debian for over 15 years now, and I believe this is the one complaint that never seems to go away! Though that only goes to show what an awesome distribution it is :-) Cheers (and congratulations to y'all on releasing Wheezy)!
