Thanks, it'd been slightly annoying me over the past few years without
having quite triggered something more than an occasional 'meh' about
naming in this or that conversation.

Looking at the various proposals, those caught my attention:
 - get.debian.org
 - download.debian.org
 - install.debian.org
 - installer.debian.org

I like the “action” aspect of the first 3, the last one being a bit
different (yet appropriate).


Mraw,
KiBi.
