Re: Ubuntu 14.04 to be named Trusty Tahr

Am I the only one that thinks this "cute" naming scheme is dumb? "Natty Narwahl"? c'mon

I think it is too but it's no worse than Debian naming releases after characters from Toy Story. Are code names rare or do most distros use them?

Some do some don't. I think it's all the preference of those who establish the project. Yes, I think Debian has corny names too, but I use it myself because it is a rock solid distro in speed, flexibility, and stability.

Thanks for the reply. I too use Debian and believe it's the best OS I've ever used but the names make me cringe.
