I don't think Canonical has any control over the naming system, so don't
get too excited about having a good system of names.

Related to this thread I've been wondering why there is not a set of
extension CD's to match the menu items. The you'd have

Ubuntu + CD of most popular graphical applications
Ubuntu + CD of most popular games
Ubuntu + CD of most popular internet applications
Ubuntu + CD of most popular office applications
Ubuntu + CD of most popular programming applications
etc, I'm sure you get the idea.

Surely this is easy to do, then I could give someone who is more
experienced with graphics than me two CD's. One with Ubuntu on and one
with the most popular graphics apps. Seems so obvious to me.
