This rather bizarre sounding name is the title given to the latest release of Ubuntu operating system. Each new version has been given a name along with the version release number.
Having recently formatted my desktop computer and reinstalled Windows and additional software, I decided it was time to clean up my laptop as well. It is a while since I last used Ubuntu and decided to try the latest version in order to see how it has changed.
I was running Ubuntu on the laptop when Microsoft offered the free upgrades to Windows 10, so I reverted back to the original copy of Windows 7 in order to upgrade, but never got around to changing it back.

At first I thought it was a medicine or some kind of Ancient Greek hero movie, wonder why they have to make the name so difficult

@louievill They depend on the name Ubuntu instead of individual versions. People will remember the current one as Ubuntu 16.
