So what is after Hoary?

[Matt Galvin]

The names are technically "Internal Code Names" for the releases. The
release is really called:

Ubuntu 4.10
Ubuntu 5.04
Ubuntu 5.10
... and so on ...

Regular and Predictable Releases

The Ubuntu team releases a fresh Ubuntu every six months. It includes
the latest kernel, X, Gnome and other key applications, and is
supported with security updates for 18 months. The first public
release of Ubuntu was the Ubuntu 4.10 Preview (codenamed "the Warty
Warthog", or just "Warty"). You can download the CD and burn it
yourself or have us ship you a CD.

It's really just a silly name :) I personally like them.
