Ubuntu 11.10 named Oneiric Ocelot
- regularfry 16y agoIt strikes me as distinctly odd for a flagship open source distro to have a "skunk works," never mind what they produce.
- jrubyer 16y agoI was wondering the same too. Anyone have any info on this?
- michaelty 16y agoHopefully, they can work a Liquid Ocelot reference into it.
- zdw 16y agoOr Revolver Ocelot, if you didn't totally block out MGS2 from your memory...
- wisty 16y agoo·nei·ric/ōˈnīrik/ Adjective: Of or relating to dreams or dreaming. OK, this should be a fairly easy term to google.
- mapleoin 16y agoI knew what Oneiric was, but not Ocelot. It seems to be a kind of leopard native to Central and Southern America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocelot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocelot
- epochwolf 16y agoMaybe a little smaller than a leopard. :) Ocelot: The ocelot ranges from 68 to 100 centimetres (27 to 39 in) in length, plus 26 to 45 centimetres (10 to 18 in) tail length, and typically weighs 8 to 18 kilograms (18 to 40 lb) Leopard: Head and body length is between 125 and 165 cm (49 and 65 in), and the tail reaches 60 to 110 cm (24 to 43 in). Shoulder height is 45 to 80 cm (18 to 31 in). Males are about 30% larger than females, weighing 30 to 91 kg (66 to 200 lb) compared to 23 to 60 kg (51 to 130 lb) for females.

- mattdeboard 16y agoWell, at least they didn't name it Django.
- dhughes 16y agoI'm not a fan of the names most times I don't know what I am using, even now I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 whatever animal it is. It's much easier to remember 10.10 (released 2010 October) than whatever year Monkey, Bat, Cow or Hedgehog came out.
- cosgroveb 16y agocat /etc/lsb-release I usually ignore the name of the release as well. Usually just knowing you're on 10.04 LTS or whatever is enough.
- pbhjpbhj 16y ago>It's much easier to remember 10.10 The oddball names aid greatly as search markers. 10.10 is not a great differentiating search term in computing whilst "maverick" (or indeed "meerkat") doesn't often appear alongside "wifi setup" (or whatever) except in pages referring to ?Ubuntu. "Oneiric ocelot" seems to be going too far in searching out little used vocab though - who knows how to pronounce or spell oneiric? >[Mark:] "The pronunciation is like “an-EAR-rick”." But dictionary.com tells me it should be "oh-nay-rick" and their sound bite is "oh-nai-rik" (in my pronounciation). Given the Greek origins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneiros http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneiros) I'd go with on-eye-ross and hence on-eye-rick.
