mr_3ntropy writes "Ars is reporting Mark Shuttleworth announced today that Ubuntu 9.04 will be called Jaunty Jackalope, to be released next April. 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."

    Or did they skip 'I' in the alphabetical naming of Ubuntu releases: Edgy Eft Feisty Fawn Gutsy Gibbon Hardy Heron I.... I...? Jaundiced Jackeroo or whatever it is.. Intrepid Iguana? Inconsolable Iriomote?
