With Breezy Badger on its way its time for the announcement of what the next +1 release will be called, and the Ubuntu team has decided that the next +1 release (6.04) will be called The Dapper Drake. This release of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years after release, and the Ubuntu developers are going to work as hard and as long as possible on Dapper Drake, as it's what they're going to release in response to MS's release of Windows Vista.

Member since:You can say that, but I've noticed with the previous Ubuntu releases that the "codename" is used to discuss the distribution more than the official name/version number. At that point it fails to be a codename at all, and instead you just have a distribution with a goofy name. Codenames aren't really codenames if they're used for advertising.
Member since:
Bear in mind that the official name for this thing is Ubuntu 6.04. Dapper Drake is just a codename, and you aren't going to see it unless you start nosing around in the repository settings.
