Ubuntu 9.10, also called Karmic Koala, is scheduled to be released on October 29th, 2009.
So gear up people, Let's see what this one brings.
Oh and yes, did you know that the name of every version of Ubuntu has two distinct aspects?
One, It's always the name of some animal.
Two, from v 5.10 onwards, the names of successive releases follow alphabetical order.
| Version | Code name | Release date | Supported until |
|---|
| Desktops | Servers |
|---|
| 4.10 | Warty Warthog | 20 October 2004 | 30 April 2006 | | 5.04 | Hoary Hedgehog | 08 April 2005 | 31 October 2006 | | 5.10 | Breezy Badger | 13 October 2005 | 13 Apr 2007 | | 6.06 LTS | Dapper Drake | 01 June 2006[74] | 14 July 2009 | June 2011 | | 6.10 | Edgy Eft [75] | 26 October 2006 | 25 April 2008 | | 7.04 | Feisty Fawn | 19 April 2007 | 19 October 2008 | | 7.10 | Gutsy Gibbon | 18 October 2007 | 18 April 2009 | | 8.04 LTS | Hardy Heron | 24 April 2008 | April 2011 | April 2013 | | 8.10 | Intrepid Ibex | 30 October 2008 | April 2010 | | 9.04 | Jaunty Jackalope | 23 April 2009[76] | October 2010 | | 9.10 | Karmic Koala[77] | 29 October 2009 | April 2011 | | 10.04 LTS | Lucid Lynx[72] | 29 April 2010[73] | April 2013 | April 2015 |
And one last quick fact, the first release in even years (usually in April) is a "long term support" release, meaning that
it will be supported by updates and software from Canonical for a much longer time than others.
