Uh, buh?
And here I was, just yesterday, thinking on how I might should upgrade from Dapper to Edgy. At this point, maybe I'll just wait and go to Feisty. Sheesh. Behind the times.

I just have to say this....
Feisty Fawn??????
A herd of Feisty Fawns?????
I think I'd abbreviate it to FF... I wouldn't want to admit I was running something called that! ;)

What on Earth do you think those words mean?
Something sexy? Then you're wrong. If not that, then *why*, exactly, wouldn't you "want to admit I was running something called that! ;)" ?

er... a feisty fawn... meaning a little deer frolicking...
in a lush green meadow.
No nothing sexy.
Just doesn't seem very... well, manly... I guess. And even for us women, it's more along the lines of Bambi than I feel comfortable with.
I like Suse the lizard and Firefox the fox, and even the Tiger those have class and power. What on earth does a fawn do besides frolick in the meadow?
All a matter of opinion, I guess.

It's a code name.
The actual name of that version is "7.04".
(SuSE's logo is not just any lizard, it's a chamaeleon)

It doesn't symbolise anything.
Ubuntu is the name of the product, 7.04 is the version.
All the symbolism is in the product name - and yes, there's plenty. The versions have whimsical animal names.
Even OS X has no particular Tiger-ishness in 10.4; it's not as if tigers are particularly renowned for having system-wide instant search facilities.
By that same measure, I'm also not aware of any inbuilt backup facilities sported by panthera pardus. I don't think they have to-do lists in their email clients, either.
