^^ Gusty Gibbon.. Since Ubuntu mainly take words from africa so here you go Gusty means Blowing swirling ... While Gibbon is a species of Monkey SO a Jumping monkey is what GG is I mean they jump with gr8 power to give best OS experience like/with an energy of monkey

@Shashwat Pant: By seeing at the features you posted I cant see any details regarding performance update. Can you please post some details regarding Core changes/Performance updates?

I have some issue when resuming from Hibernate in 7.04, Was it a known issue also file search is not that good as I had expected. I hope there will be major improvement with Gusty.

You might find this wiki page a bit resourceful in your quest for the code name's meanings:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames

Gutsy Gibbon, as I saw it while using Tribe 1 (Which broke after a while ..) has a unified Desktop Appearance panel a.k.a Windows style. Yeah, this means that you can change your themes, pointers and what no via the Desktop-Context-Menu > Appearance option.

And that's just one of what changes are gonna take place, install it now to find out the rest

[rocket357]

^^^ I know...but it'd still be cool...heh.

Nah, they'll probably name it something like "Hungry Hedgehog" or whatever.

[QwertyManiac]

@rocket357 - Heh, you can participate in the name choosing over the IRC channels. The link I gave above has a huge list of possible combinations and words for the same from which they'll choose one out. Moreover H's already taken by Hoary Hedgehog .. Next would be I? Iceweasel

[RCuber]
