Ubuntu 版本数字之谜

Ubuntu 每个代号版本大家都很清楚了,据说出自 Toy Story(玩具总动员)中的小动物。而数字版本和普通的系统、软件的命名有很大区别。初始版本是从 4.10 起跳的,一直到现在的 7.04(Feisty Fawn),下一个版本将会是 7.10(Gutsy)。我在无意的一瞬间突然明白了这些数字的意义,为了印证,特地到官方查阅了一下相关资料,事实证明的确如此。

假设三位数字版本为 a.bc,实际 a 代表的就是发布年份,bc 则是正式版本发布时的月份,再缩写得通俗一点,就是 y.mm。7.10 (Gutsy)就表示将在 07年的10月18日正式发布,这和官方的 release schedule 是吻合的:

  1. Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog): October 2004
  2. Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog): April 2005
  3. Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger): October 2005
  4. Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake): June 2006
  5. Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft): October 2006
  6. Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn): April 2007

    debian的版本代号才是用Toy Story角色命名的。
    ubuntu发行周期是6个月,一般是在4月与10月发布新版本。之所以有个606是因为那次发布跳票了两个月。

    嗯,在 Ubuntu 的 FAQ 里面可以找到详细的解释。
