Ubuntu Version Names and End of life Details
Sponsored Link
The version number comes from the year and month of the release; the version names are made by Mark Shuttleworth.
LTS stands for Long Term Support; these versions of Ubuntu are supported for longer than usual -- 3 years on the desktop and 5 years on the server. If you are unsure of the version you are using, go to System > Administration > System Monitor, and go to the System tab or open a terminal and type: lsb_release -a

I dont see any version names here. Unless you consider a number to be a name.
@Dave
Thanks dave and i have updated the article with code names
Cool !!
And what about the 8.04.2?
@mrphoenix:
8.04.2 is just a maintenance release. You get it by updating 8.04.
But maby you meant why 8.04.1 is mentioned and 8.04.2 is not, that is indeed a bit strange.
Interesting… Good job!
But the above is as (almost 😀 ) as old as the hills – for the last 5 months or so I’ve been using
Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty
Updated main article with latest information
I have seen there is supposed to be 32 bit and 64 bit versions, are there any code names or versions that are just one or the other? which is which? Thanks. I have been searching for a 64 bit version as I would like to try it.
They should put the newer versions on like 12.10 and keep these older version dates on still
