It will focus on improving boot times and the convergence of desktop and web. The 8.10 release, Intrepid Ibex, is coming next month with GNOME 2.24 and will include better support for subnotebooks."

    17 represents the year 2017. 2017-2004=13, because the original release was in 2004. 13x2=26, because releases are every 6 months, i.e. twice a year.

    Actually, Ubuntu never had an A, B or C named release, they started alphabetical order with Dapper Drake. They've also already used W (Warty Warthog) and repeated H (Hoary Hedgehog and Hardy Heron).
