That's how Ubuntu names its pre-beta releases. It's always adjective + animal + name of group of animals + number. Ubuntu 6.10 had releases like "Edgy Eft Knot 2", where a "knot" is a group of efts. Obviously, a herd is a group of fawns.

These are just code-names anyway. Feisty Fawn will be called "Ubuntu 7.04" when it's released.

Interesting. I'm glad they will drop 'Herd' because it only adds confusion. It sounds like GNU 'Hurd', the kernel which someday may compete with the Linux kernel, GNU/Hurd vs. GNU/Linux.

GNU/Hurd? I'll skip an update cycle and wait for GNU/DukeNukemForever! ;-)

Seriously, Hurd was around before Linus made the comp.os.minix post that started it all.
