I was confused that why did each Ubuntu version never contain the whole number. After watching this Ubuntu screencast, I finally understand its reason. According to the video, Ubuntu version number is based on the date when it’s released. This explains why the first version of Ubuntu was not 1. The current version of Ubuntu is 9.10. That means it’s released on October, 2009. I then found out that Ubuntu has 6 months release cycle. It explains why does Ubuntu have consistent version number that I was wondered about. That reminds me about Ubuntu 10.04 Beta. Based on this version numbering method, its final version should be released next month. I’m very exited because it’s going to be April after five days from now.
