Feisty Fawn is how old? I can never remember the names of the releases. Why can't they just stick to the numbering scheme?

Feisty Fawn is how old? I can never remember the names of the releases. Why can't they just stick to the numbering scheme?
- 83457 16y agoNaming is in sequence alphabetically and there is a release every 6 months. Maverick Meerkat was released recently. A B C D E F G H I J K L M... so that means... (13-6 releases) * (6 months/1 release) * (1 year/12 months) = 3.5 years
- nuclear_eclipse 16y agoExcept that there was no A, B, or C release in the current lineup, because it started with Warty Warthog, Hoary Hedgehog, Breezy Badger, and then they decided on the sequentially named releases starting with Dapper Drake (6.06). Feisty Fawn was 7.04.
- 83457 16y agoGood point. I put that in more to represent releases between F and M but I see why that was confusing.
- loire280 16y agoThe official release name is Ubuntu Y.MM (10.10 just came out, replacing 10.4 released in April). The... err... fanciful names are development codenames. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames
