Quoting:Ubuntu 110.10 ‘Oneric Ocelot’


Damn I missed the releases from 11.04 to 110.04. I wonder what they were like.

My favorite was Zippy Zebra, but 'Here we go Again Hippo' was pretty cool, too.

Anybody still got the theme art for Cthonic Cephalopod? I hear it was r'lyehly weird...
Steven_Rosenber ·
Fantastic Ferret was one of the best.
cr ·
Shimmering Shuggoths was cool. I liked the way that, when your partition filled up, the xterm prompt changed to the color "Out Of Space".
jdixon ·
I liked Yodeling Yeti myself. The sound effects were worth the price by themselves.
BernardSwiss ·
Actually Steve, I believe you meant Funky Ferret?

But yeah, that one was rather nice -- probably my fave as well.

I personally thought "Crafty Chameleon" would have been the best choice for the next major release.....

I mean, it tries to look like a desktop but in the end, it just isn't.
cr ·
@helios: More like Crufty Cameleopard, for the reason cited. Let's see if the next one does any better: "Take two! Tablets, call me in the morning!"

My vote: Creepy Camel-spider.

cr ·
@jaseP: Oh yeah, I can just see adding that into the Tablet-OS Face-Off...
ComputerBob ·
My vote: (insert the funniest, most clever and creative name that makes all of you LOL).
cr ·
@ComputerBob: (...but it has to subtly remind you of the O'Reilly book covers)
JaseP ·
@cr:

Yep,... it'll devour iOS, Win8, Android, and even small birds...
cr ·
Oh, Android'll be safe; I've never seen a spider do anything with pastries and ice cream other than set up a web to trap attracted insects. Those others, though, they'll get their just desserts.
