What is Digg?75 Comments
- Aitese, on 11/25/2008, -7/+29OK, I was hoping to get in before the obligatory "what's with the name?" post but I guess these guys have the comments waiting in their clipboards at all times. Once again for the slow...IT'S A CODE NAME!!!!
Go to the Ubuntu website (ubuntu.com) and see that on release there is no mention of jackalopes, efts, herons, ibex, gibbons or stinking badgers. The year, and then the month...that's it.
Now grow up. - mickstephenson, on 11/25/2008, -1/+18Fail - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliteration
- schmeeky, on 11/25/2008, -1/+13Surely you mean Kinky Kangaroo?
- thallenthur, on 11/25/2008, -2/+14A transition to Mono 2.0 to save disc space?? I have a better idea - get rid of that mono based bloated software.
- inactive, on 11/25/2008, -1/+11gonna move onto people instead of animals and start from A again.

Aroused Andy - altrego99, on 11/25/2008, -1/+10Is that the default wallpaper now?
- shifty2, on 11/25/2008, -0/+9"and wine did not like myspace messenger either. "
i don't think its a good idea to admit that you use myspace messenger... - inactive, on 11/25/2008, -2/+10Yeah, I was waiting for Jolly Jagoff.
- cajie, on 11/25/2008, -3/+10Once they reach the "Zany Zebra" version, will they stop updating?
- inactive, on 11/25/2008, -1/+8on an Alpha? do you even keep a build for more then a month?

Here is where the plans for 9.04 are laid out. it's about improving usability and integration with the web. If your main concern is the way it looks check out gnomelooks.org. - damndj, on 11/25/2008, -0/+6Dominating Debbie
- brianpocock, on 11/25/2008, -0/+6What I just installed 8.10 give me a day or two to use it before having me update again!
- oscarolim, on 11/25/2008, -4/+10Here he goes again... time to update my build :D
- kenplaysviola, on 11/25/2008, -0/+5Copulating Chelsea
- JohnFlux, on 11/25/2008, -0/+5But what do you really feel?

- Aitese, on 11/25/2008, -1/+6So basically you have to go looking for it? No one said Canonical never use it, it's just not pushed to the non tech community using the codename. Most users will not check what repository they are downloading from or care to click the about button.
- championchap, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4Everyone always tells me how sexy Linux Mint is.. it looks so ***** boring to me.
I actually prefer the default Ubuntu theme. - mickstephenson, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4Schmeeky wins for being the only one to understand the concepts of Alliteration, Adjectives, Animals, and the order of the Alphabet.
Although I prefer Kooky Kestrel.

- Sneakernets, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4Says a man that has a Debian Swirl for an avatar.
You guys still pissed off? Ubuntu made Linux actually worth talking about. Debian never even got started. - static07, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4You can always opt for Kubuntu or any of the other desktop enviroments like Xfce, Enlightenment, Fluxbox and Project Looking Glass...
- hardeep1singh, on 11/25/2008, -2/+6I beg to differ, mac is actually a unix ripoff, where as linux evolved from Unix, so your statement should be the other way round.
- rocket2dmn, on 11/25/2008, -1/+5Alpha 1 - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-1/
Daily build - http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ - Sammi84, on 11/25/2008, -0/+4You have 6 months.
There's a new stable release every 6 months.
They use a time based release schedule. That's how it is. That's how it works. - inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3I share your enthusiasm for new stuff, even if it breaks everything and costs me hours of life....
- techdever, on 11/25/2008, -1/+4or Jerking Jackal
- Zounas, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3So, any news from Windows 7?
- greenlight2001, on 11/25/2008, -0/+3Humping Harry
- newwatch51, on 11/26/2008, -0/+2Don't feed the troll, especially not one this obvious
- paulsmith288, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2apart from a new version of mono - any other big changes plannned for this release? The article doesn't say much.
- inactive, on 11/25/2008, -0/+2Perhaps this article is just bread filler in the sausage.
- championchap, on 11/25/2008, -1/+2To some people, that might be considered a treat.
BUKAKKE! - oscarolim, on 12/02/2008, -0/+1I've a separate installation for testing purposes. On the development machine I only use stable versions.
- willfe, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1Nah, there's gotta be an "aardvark" version (going from "Z" to "AA") ... right? :)
- newwatch51, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1Nomenclature fail!
- MonkeyFarts, on 11/26/2008, -0/+1You can always change the theme, for either one. I don't understand why people complain about how it looks when you can easily change that.
- g00dETH3R, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1bastard
- weizbox, on 11/25/2008, -1/+2If your someone who likes to update often, get a rolling release distro :) Most likley you'll be working with stable packages of new software months before most Ubuntu users do :)
- HonoredMule, on 11/25/2008, -1/+2My OS only makes sounds when I play music, and I'll have you know my music tastes are very elegant and refined. *harumph*
- twystoffate, on 11/25/2008, -1/+2Too bad. I have a jackalope head.
- orrinbloquy, on 11/25/2008, -2/+2Grabbable Gabrielle
