I usually come up with my own names for releases. But, they normally stay in my head. Admittedly a bad place at times.
11.10 "Ornery" 12.04 "Prissy".
Nothin comes to mind for "Quantal Quetzal", yet.

Quetzal, a beautiful bird.
The choice of Quantal is interesting:
quan·tal(kw
n
tl)adj.1. Physicsa. Of or relating to a quantum or a quantized system.
b. Existing in only one of two possible states.
2. Biology Of or designating an all-or-none response or effect: a quantal reaction.
This is interesting. Existing in only one of two possible states. Unity or KDE?
An "all or none" response to market conditions? If Q&Q doesn't fly in the market Canonical is done?

Well, "b. Existing in only one of two possible states." For a Linux distribution, that could mean "It works (state one)", or "It doesn't work (state two)". Not sure that conveys what they intended. Hmm, even "2. Biology Of or designating an all-or-none response or effect:" That two, implies "It works" or "It doesn't work". I think that Canonical could have chosen better.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Fedora 17 is in beta now. Code maned "Beefy Miracle"
Now, what I'm wondering is if they considered the initials for that? BM??
