Precise Pangolin, Quantal Quetzal, Raring Ringtail... If you followed the latest
Ubuntu releases, probably already have heard that names.
And it's what we'll talk about in this LinuxVlog episode.
Well, if you are a Ubuntu user, certainly read these names when work with PPAS
or something so. The scheme for naming the releases
works in this way: Firstly comes Ubuntu, which is the distribuition name,
then the the year (minus 2000), and then the month in wich that version was released.
Then the codename, wich is formed by an adjective and an animal.
One of the reasons to name a release, is that no one knows the exact date of its launch
and humans prefer names than numbers. But the codenames follows a standard too,
besides of being only animals names with an adjective, these two words needs to start with the same letter
and incoming releases needs to be in alphabetical order.
But was not always like this, only began to be alphabetically from the third
Version, the 5.10. But how it all started? Mark Shuttleworth
Explain: He and Robert Collins were on a ferry in Circular Quay, Australia,
when they started this convesation:
Then the name stuck and from there all the releases were codenamed.
The intention was to keep swine names, but the distribuition was gowing and this
kind of name doesn't sound right.
So, if you want to know more about this, suggest names or see the next possible codenames
you can visit the Ubuntu Wiki page in the description.
Thanks for watching, see you on the next video. =]
