I think, the code names for the ubuntu releases are names of animals. English is not my mative language, so I do not think I understand correctly but I do not know what is an eft or fawn. I know the next release will be gutsy gibbon and I've found a nice pictore of a gibbon on plant.ubuntu.com ( http://ubuntu.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/gibbon.jpg ).

I'm asking, can we see the pictures of edgy eft, feisty fawn and others... :D

code names are not necessarily mascots. though the idea of having an ubuntu mascot is a nice one. but for me i'm not that interested of an ubuntu mascot it has its pros and cons.

i don't know if (official) mascots are a very good idea, there has been some mascot drawings of ubuntu releases for example here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209452

i find them as amusing as the release code names :D

It may be a little confusing if we have to change our animal head honcho twice a year, don't you think?

As an anime otaku I like this Ubuntu OS-tan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-tan) wallpaper :D
