Canonical releases a new version +every six months. That being said, the last version was Karmic Koala (v 9.10), +released in September of 2010. The previous version, Jaunty Jackalope (v 9.04), +was released in April of 2010. That being said, the version system is +[month].[year] of the release. A bit clever, despite the lack of subversions. + +My worry is still though what we do when we get to a version starting with X +(Xciting Xray???) or Y (Yippidy Yanky???). + +Enjoy the new and shiny distribution version everyone! + + +Category:Ubuntu +Category:Linux + + +// vim: set syntax=asciidoc: |
