No, this is not just debian, you'll find it on archlinux as well.

What I would like to know: Is this new naming scheme an international standard on all linux distributions, or is this just a debian thing? At the moment, I renamed all devices to the old names (wlan0, eth0 and so on), as I many tools are still want the old names (however, it might be, that these are also not renewed documentations). So, what is the status today? How have people accepted the new names also for long running systems? I think, most people might rename their stuff, just as I did, because they are more comfortable with the old names. I would be happy for a little bit background information and if I am a dinosaur with old names. Best regards Hans
