Yes. Mark Shuttleworth aslo has a company called HBD, which stands for
"Here be Dragons". It's also the order in which the Ubuntu versions were
released "Hoary Breezy Dapper", and if I get slightly confused I just
remember "HBD". Then all you have to remember is that Warty was the
first ancient release, and edgy is the latest.

*shrug* works for me :)
