 Indeed, that was the best proposal yet.

I'm also in favour of penguin names.

 Cool, a linux named Opus. Can it get better?

Chilly Willy was another famous cartoon penguin.

What do the HURD developers think of this? The penguin is only for the
linux kernel right?

I posted my stance on the logo issue multiple times to the Debian lists in
the past, and don't think that the Debian logo should refer to a penguin or
a gnu.

However, using anything (even penguin names) as code names for releases is
fine with me. My proposal is to use makepasswd --crypt and use the login
name, 62^8 different code names, should last for at least... 7.3e13 years :P

Thank you,
Marcus
