Oops! Forgot to reply to this!

I'm not too keen on named releases, except
maybe as an internal code name. Users can
usually tell instantly whether to download
'tuhopuu1' or 'tuhopuu2', but would they know
whether to download 'baboon' or 'chimp'? A
similar thing with debian, for example: Debian 3.0
is clearly a later release that Debian 2.2,
but if you never used debian before, would
you know that 'Woody' is more recent than
'Potato'?

... anyways, on the bovine thing: it would have been
really cool to have a release named 'Gruad' ;)
