  This is why everyone refers to Ubuntu versions by just the first word.

  Quote [Wikipedia]: An ibex, commonly called by its French name: bouquetin also called steinbock in German[citation needed], is a type of wild mountain goat with large recurved horns that are transversely ridged in front. Ibex are found in Eurasia, North Africa, and East Africa. The name ibex comes from Latin, borrowed from Iberian or Aquitanian, akin to Old Spanish bezerro "bull", modern Spanish becerro "yearling". Ranging in height from 27 to 43 inches and weighing 200 to 270 pounds (90 to 120 kg), the ibex can live 20 years.

    I wonder if they picked it because it looks kind of like a gnu.
