Ubuntu Linux versions have numbers, such as 10.04, for the version number released in the

fourth month (April) of 2010. These version numbers, or release numbers, are also given code names (a.k.a. "pet names", animal names) that are used until the software version is released (and even after!).

Here are other Ubuntu Linux Release Numbers and Code Names:
