Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Ubuntu Numbering

I won't be around when the next 9.10 comes around again in a hundred years,
so at least I won't be pointing out any repetitions. Thanks for taking it
good naturedly. These things are all part of the learning curve. If people
understand the number system then they can anticipate the next release at
its appointed time and 10.04 will come out at the end of April, 2010.
Canonical tends to take these things in stride. They have not even code
named the 10.10 release yet. All they know is the targeted release dates
every six months and even that can change.
