    The Jackalope is very fast, and ubuntu 9.04's goal is to have a speed boost.

    The "Jackalope" doesn't exist; therefore, a Jackrabbit would be faster. A snail would be, for that matter. :p

    I nominate archer's suggestion as the best so far. Of any Ubuntu release names ever. It sounds impressive, rather than like something from the Saturday morning cartoon line-up.

    Imagine all the spelling screwups when folks post threads... :D

    I thought of this one, too! It's way better than what was chosen.

    Maybe Canonical/Ubuntu should let users choose next time, huh?

    Great minds think alike... ;)
