Ubuntu 10.04 is called lucid lynx

Good day everyone. I've been using linux for a long times now. I'm not using linux distros for my desktop yet until the release of ubuntu 10.04. They called it as a Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. Cool. :)

I'm not encouraging you to use this distro without knowing what is the ubuntu lucid lynx actually. What is Ubuntu? Come on you must heard this word somewhere. Ubuntu, an operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux, makes two releases every year, using the year and month of the release as a version number. The first Ubuntu release, for example, was Ubuntu 4.10 and was released on 20 October 2004. Consequently, version numbers for future versions are provisional; if the release is delayed until a different month to that planned, the version number changes accordingly.

Ubuntu releases are timed to be approximately one month after GNOME releases, which are in turn about one month after releases of X.Org, resulting in each Ubuntu release including a newer version of GNOME and X. To date every fourth release, in the second quarter of even-numbered years, has been designated as a Long Term Support (LTS) release, indicating that it has updates for three years for desktop use and five years for server, with paid technical support also available from Canonical Ltd.. Releases 6.06, 8.04, and 10.04 are the LTS releases.

Ubuntu releases are also given code names, using an adjective and an animal with the same first letter (e.g. Dapper Drake). With the exception of the first two releases, code names are in alphabetical order, allowing a quick determination of which release is newer. Commonly, Ubuntu releases are often referred to using only the adjective portion of the code name (e.g. Dapper).

So.. that's a brief of ubuntu. I got my first hand with ubuntu when i stucked with redhat es 4. The depencies and RHNetworks won't recognise me anymore... that's a little shame for REd HAT. I took a drastic action to start from zero. Then i took the iso images from the net, surprisingly, this distro won't take me long to understand. I like tis distro better than others.
