Faithful readers of this column may remember news we reported back in early April that the next Ubuntu release had been cunningly named “Jabbering Jackass.” The news came from a memo that got leaked to the Linux Loop, the story went, and it was, of course, an April Fools’ Day joke — which we knew all along. Anyhoo, turns out the *real* next version of Canonical’s very excellent software — sans the “cuddly cartoon donkey” — will be Jaunty Jackalope, as Mark Shuttleworth himself announced on a mailing list post last week.
