Is it just me or... dude I always *HATED* the "Service Pack" terminology. Back on those days, I wouldn't even figure out what it was. Perhaps "Update Pack" would have been better? But I think "Service" looks more corporative.
Anyways, who here doesn't know of hundred cases where they screw the whole system just by installing a SP1 or SP2... It's even funny that in their READMEs, there is a line saying "If your system is running fine and doesn't list any issues covered by SP, it's not recommended that you install SP."
I prefer the number scheming name. But I find also hard to go through Ubuntu's silly animal codenames and a new release every 6 months.
