The name is only supposed to be used by developers during the development cycle. Once it releases it becomes 10.04, 10.10 etc. > 3) Wonder why the general public (general ignorant audience) don't > jump on board when they think the name sounds unprofessional or just > plain stupid (e.g. GIMP). It's Ubuntu 10.04. Look at the CD, it doesn't say Lucid _anywhere_ on it. Note the release announcement even plays down the name calling it just a 'codename'. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2010-April/000133.html "We" in the Ubuntu community should be encouraging people to use the version numbers for releases and the codenames for development versions. However _within_ our community it's not unusual to continue using the names because we build an affection for them, having worked on them for months and sporting t-shirts depicting the animals.
