I don't understand the joke in calling it that. It just seems petty. Is there something I'm missing?

  The linux kernel names are not meant for marketing; they're in-house only. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_kernel_names http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_kernel_names

    Ok, who's the joker who went through and linked all the animal names, etc.?

    This is the answer I was looking for. Funny, I've been a long time linux user, and never knew about these internal names. It does seem like a slight against our Ubuntu, Debain, Mac OS, Windows et al. comrades. Without any context, "Hurr, durr, I'm a sheep" seems rude to users and administrators of every OS distribution. With this context, it seems like maybe not a very funny addition to a long running joke.

  Why petty? Against what/whom? Great. Now I'm confused...
