[LEAKED] Code Name of Ubuntu 10.10
We have a leaked information from Cannonical. If we believe the leaked source, the name of Ubuntu 10.10 has been finalized. There have been lots of guesses about the name of Ubuntu 10.10 that you can find in the Ubuntu Wiki, but as from the leaked source its name has been already been chosen from the animal that is mostly found in North America. The name of the animal starting with M was set to been Meerkat. But the animal has a adjective codename that was more secret than that of the name of the animal. After some days of animal’s name leak, the adjective codename was leaked out to be Maverick. And hence the journey of Maverick Meerkat Ubuntu 10.10 has started with its name.
I don’t know why Maverick was chosen as the adjective codename for Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, but I am guessing that Maverick was chosen because Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat will no longer offer CD version. I think it is a good decision since CDs are already passé and everyone has a DVD reader by now. With the DVD version one can choose to install one or more of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu.
Please discuss how you like the name.
