PDA

Well, it's the 1st of February, and Dapper is due for release in less than three months. So can anyone confirm whether the Ubuntu team has come up with a name for the post Dapper release?

So far, we've had Warty Warthog, Hoary Hedgehog, Breezy Badger and now the upcomming Dapper Drake. I would like to suggest 'Percy Possum 6.10' as a possible name for the next release. I would be interested to hear other suggestions on names for the post-Dapper releases. You never now - you might write it here and the Ubuntu guys might take a liking to it!

Yeah - I was hoping for some good names to come about over the next day or so, and then convert this thread into a poll (including mine of course).

So if you keep them coming, when we have 6 or 7 good ones I'll swap this over to a poll, and we'll see what happens.

First of all, I'm quite sure that there is a difference in the construction of vocal cords between Felis cats and Panthera cats (small/domestic and large/wild) that makes small Felis cats able to purr but not roar and the Pantera cats able to roar but not purr. Or something like that.

Secondly, I think that the theme to look for in names is african origin, or at least african connection. So, my suggestions:

Roaring Rhino
Zappy Zebra
Likable Lemur
Gentle Giraff
Moxy Mamba

...or something like that. :cool:

do a google [define:bestiality] and you get this
Sexual contact with animals; also known as zoophilia So animals on animals is game. yet you are correct greenpenguin that should be avoided in general.
