Hi
Will Ubuntu ever have big leaps between their versions, or will constantly evolve in small steps, considering the time between the releases?

The way Ubuntu does their work is as followed:

Every 6 months they bring out a new release, most times in April and October...Thats how their version number works:
eg. Ubuntu 9.10 means it was brought out in 200-9 in the 10th month, so October 2010...the next one will be Ubuntu 10.04, and will be released this month.

Between a few releases they bring out what are coded as LTS releases, they're the bigger releases and the LTS means Long Time Support because that release is supported for longer. The next LTS is 10.04.

Ubuntu also uses codenames for their releases and over the last few years have been 2 words to describe an animal in alphabetical order...the current version 9.10 is Karmic Koala, the previous version 8.10 was Jaunty Jackelope and the next one 10.04 is Lucid Lynx.

I hope that helps you a little
