@mac_v and Alex: have you read the wiki page I linked in comment 23?
That is part of defined Ubuntu branding policy from as long ago as 2006
to eliminate the use of the development code name from any user visible
space.

System-About Ubuntu should more directly display version information
@Mathew, my comments are only after i'v read the wiki...
Since its a wiki , and atleast 1yr old page , it is not clear who has made the
page...
AFAIC , it doesnt seem to be an official page , or an official decision Ubuntu
wants to take...
If it was the official decision , why was it not done

Ok... i think you are right
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames , says the the Official
name is the number...
But again, to re-enforce the problems comments #24 and #25 are valid causes of
concern.
All external repos, lp repos refer to codenames!Even the ubuntuforums.org only
list
Wow, I can't believe that such a minor bug has generated so many
comments. I'm going to add one more:
I know that the policy states that we should refer to Ubuntu releases by
their release number, but a sufficient number of people use the
codenames that we should provide some way of users finding
Like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames ? It's also the first
Google hit on Ubuntu code names.

Bugs,
This is a problem thats always annoyed me greatly. I don't know for how
many versions its said the phrase 'Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu
9.04 - the Jaunty Jackalope - released in April 2009.' But I only
noticed it after coming to this bug report as I was planning on
reporting it myself.

@David - I entirely agree with your comment as follows:
This to me is a ubuntu wide branding problem though, having both the
version names such as 'Jaunty Jackalope' (which I just had to look up
since I didnt know it) and 9.04. Pretty confusing to new users when the
same product keeps getting
Also, any repo will only have code names , in the sources line.
Users might not know both the names Jaunty Jackalope , but surely would know
Jaunty , its hard *not* to notice that when you are adding repos.

@Matthew East , i disagree.
The code names are commonly used , irc / ubuntuforums / other online help
resources , to identify the version.
Removing the codes names from the About-Ubuntu ,would only make it difficult
for users to identify their OS and cause more confusion.

System-About
The name of the version IS part of the branding. It is interchangeably
used in various sources, and as such, there's no good reason to remove
it from the about-ubuntu dialog.

An easier way to do is would be to have something similar to what you
get when you do About Firefox with the window showing links to ubuntu

I think that adding an extra number to the graphic is not necessary. I
agree that thanking someone for their interest in Ubuntu is somewhat
unnecessary after they have already installed the system (sounds like
this came from the liveCD or such). In any case a simple and clear text
with the version
I agree with Kenneth that adding a version number to the graphic is
undesirable. Most importantly, it's contrary to the usual branding
philosophy used in relation to the logo (i.e. that it should remain
unchanged except where there is a good reason to change it) - this is to
ensure consistency
In addition, adding it to the graphic makes it impossible to translate
into other languages/char-sets

The documentation package could be updated after each release to include
information about newer releases. This should allow the documentation to
dynamically update a couple times each year.

We can't easily implement either the suggestion to include whether
updates are available or whether the version is the most recent version
of Ubuntu or not, because those are both things that change during the
lifetime of an Ubuntu system and the help system that Ubuntu uses
doesn't allow us to
I really like Hercules' concept, but here's one caveat: it may be
possible to update Ubuntu, but not necessarily to the next or other
version.
So, it may include phrases like:
This is the most up to date version of Ubuntu available - version/You are
using the most updated version of Ubuntu -
Perhaps all that is needed to fix this bug is to say:
You are using Ubuntu 9.04 - the Jaunty Jackalope - released in April
2009.
Instead of:
Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 9.04 - the Jaunty Jackalope -
released in April 2009.

I agree with the poster of this bug. Thanking someone for their
interest after they have installed the OS on their machine is a little
condescending. Displaying that screen under a Live CD environment is
fine as people are mostly still at the evaluation stage and have yet to
