There was a long long discussion about this on freebsd-chat about 6
months ago. 
I don't know if Operating Systems are male or female or neuter
(gramatically speaking, and being multi-lingual it sometimes causes me
an irrelevant amount of anguish).
I think it would be safe to call all FreeBSD releases,
Never_come_on_Time :)

I must add, my reply is meant in gest. Humour is not noticeable on
FreeBSD-questions. But, and here I am being serious, I think FreeBSD is
developing and maintaining a Heritage. It is kind of cautious about it's
offspring. I have tried on my network, for professional reasons, just
about every version of Linux around. They do not work out of the box, as
they claim to.

Well, if you want to reply to this then do so to me personally.
Questions is already busy enough.

Sure ...
4.7 = Stable
5.0 = Current

Heh, Linux stole them from Berkley UNIX, eh?

There was a wonderfully humorous (though short)
exchange on chat around November 1st, '02...
you really should check the archives.

That said, I don't guess there have been code
names for FBSD specifically, although the history
of the BSD's is replete with such...generally
western US cities...I can't see such things
with FBSD, though, I mean, 5.1 -POTATO
would require all the docs to be rewritten,
among other things :-)
