appears that the name of the firmware that comes with the upcoming Lumia 730 smartphone is the rather unheard of Debian Red. Somehow, someone, somewhere decided to give it this bewildering name. Why, you ask? Well, Debian Red is actually a color, appropriately so. Nothing wrong with that. But one would have to imagine all other colors were already taken, because Debian is the name of a very popular distribution of the Linux operating systems, which itself has been used as a base for several other Linux builds. Naming it this is just asking for confusion among users who search for information on this. Search engines could serve overlapping results, and that is never a good problem to have. Keep it simple, people!]]>
