New Re: 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)


Yep, I know. And I view it as versatile (changeable), etc because of the chameleon. But I can't picture anything symbolized by the feisty fawn.

New 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.

Well, the place was crowded. We were packed in like sardines. They were all there to listen to the Big Band sounds of Tommy Dorsal. What sole! Tommy was rocking the place with a very popular tuna: "Sal-mon Chanted Evening," and the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers; probably there to see the bass player.
