Debian typically uses code names to refer to its releases, startingwith the Toy Story character names used (mostly) instead of numbers.The "Buster" release is due on July 6 and you will rarely hear itreferred to as "Debian 10". There are some other code names used forrepository (or suite) names in the Debian infrastructure; "stable", "testing","unstable", "oldstable", and sometimes even "oldoldstable" are all used aspart of the sources for the APTpackaging tool. But code names of any sort are hard to keep track of; adiscussion on the debian-devel mailing list looks at moving away from, atleast, some of the repository code names.
