- picpak, on 10/10/2007, -4/+74It can't be, they already used H (Hoary Hedgehog).
- doctorcaligari, on 10/10/2007, -2/+54Didn't they get that name from BBSpot?
http://www.bbspot.com/News/2007/05/version-names-for-ubuntu.html
My personal favorites are "Lesbo Leopard" and "Orgasmic Ocelot" - inactive, on 11/01/2007, -0/+46To /dev/null
- tradwolley, on 10/10/2007, -2/+36*New Features*
-Strong appeal to 5 year old boys
-Volume control stuck to max (hardware producing less than 80dB non-compatible)
Any I missed? - Mejogid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35Actually, they did say that with 'Dapper Drake' they were going to progress alphabetically. I'm in for Hungry Hippo :)
- mishaco, on 10/10/2007, -3/+36it loads ok , but then it ***** all over the carpet !
- baalzebub, on 10/10/2007, -6/+31lmao! good one...
- cronot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24My vote goes to Masturbating Monkey and Transsexual Tiger.
- tradwolley, on 11/01/2007, -0/+23Where do the marbles go?
- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Warty Warthog and Hoary Hedgehog were the first two releases before they standardized to alphabetical release names(Breezy, Dapper,...)
- fearphage, on 10/24/2007, -2/+22Madness?! THIS.IS.UBUNTU!
- enalios, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17if someone developed a cancer vaccination but it was called "Cootie Bootie Frootie Froo" would you pass?
cuz I would. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14check the link, chimpy.
- kraniac, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15If you're switching operating systems because you don't like version codenames, you probably don't have any important uses for a computer.
- JustFender, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13hawkish hawk? thats just lazy
- daradib, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13These are only development names, similar to how Windows Vista had a development name of Longhorn. The versions of Ubuntu are referred to by the year and month they were or are going to be released (i.e. 7.10 means the year 2007, the 10th month- October).
- Protoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Damn thats the entire reason you uninstalled? Why not refer to it as 7.04 or 7.10?
- pbaehr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Well, since they skipped A and C I don't think we can say the alphabetical naming started until Dapper. Anyway, I suppose the next one will be I. I'm all ready for Irate Iguana.
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+10Sure thing.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I'm a Brit and I remember 'Hungry Hippos' used to be called 'Hungry Hungry Hippos' but the name changed for some reason. Now the hippos are only half as hungry :(
- scottykempf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9 It's a race, it's a chase, hurry up and feed their face!
Who will win? No one knows! Feed the hungry hip-ip-pos!
Hungry hungry hippos! (open up and there it goes!)" - MikeMcG, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Ubuntu may taste good, but it's provides 20% of your daily Open Source and 15% of your daily Calcium requirements.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Horny Human.
- invertedtwisted, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I don't think a cheeseburger is an animal. Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty certain about it.
- dafragsta, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12They used H? I knew they did Dapper Drake, Edgy Eft, Feisty Fawn, and I knew that G was Gutsy Gibbon, but I was really hoping that H was still up in the air.
- blup3ace, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9noooooooooooooooooo!!
I expected it to be horny hippo.
:( - bentrop, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8They also said they were going to skip the occasional letter. So it might be possible that H will be skipped because of Hoary Hedgehog. If not, I'm all for Hungry Hippo ... or Horny Hippo or Happy Hippo or Hippy Hippo.
- merreborn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Holy *****, a bbspot article that's actually funny? You just blew my mind, man.
I'm partial to "Racist Rooster" myself. - datcracka, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Yeah, well I wanted Cheesey Cheeseburger, and that never happened either.
- urby86, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Why'd they skip A?? Passing up a chance for Awesome Aardvark is madness.
- zwaldowski, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Since when do Warthogs, Hedgehogs, Badgers, and Groundhogs fly?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames - OBKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Jabbering Jedi
- pHr34kY, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Explain to me how they would call their distro "Lesbo Leopard" and NOT end up in court in a class action from apple and bunch of dykes?
- meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Why does it sound perfectly normal to say that Linux contains calcium?
- jayssite, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Well, if ketchup is a vegetable...
- Jerky1312, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Heavenly Hornet, Handsome Hog, Hovering Hummingbird, Heated Hyena, Hairy Hare, Honest Hamster, Hoarse Horse, Hempted Hedgehog, Healing Heron, Heavy Hippo, Hawkish Hawk.
- psygnisfive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Sounds like a lawsuit from Apple in the making.
- Darkhacker, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I think Mark Shuttleworth goes to bed with a smile on his face knowing somewhere in the world that someone has to say the words "Feisty Fawn" and "Gutsy GIbbon" in a bored (pun intended) meeting with their boss raising an eyebrow at the end of the table. I think it is kind of neat though that the community is using these cute animal names instead of "Canonical Linux Operating System 2007 - Desktop Edition" or some marketing BS like that.
- psygnisfive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7December of 2012 is 12.12. kthxbai.
- zwaldowski, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Do you call Windows Vista, Longhorn?

- amrush4th, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4The best part are the adds to the right of the title on this comments page that try to be relevant to what we are looking at. WTF is is hippo hopper?
- riah, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Impotent Impala
- latinjones, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4hopefully not hungry like a hippo for your systems resources.....or bloated like a hippo!
