Never. Nobody uses the code names. It's a waste of time and choosing<br>
names like "Beefy Miracle" is a good way of making the distro look a<br>
whole lot less professional.<br>

Well, as far as I can tell, many Ubuntu and Debian users prefer to call<br>
their release "by name".<br>

Yes, and I wonder why Fedora users just don't it. Nobody knows why, either we have too stupid names, or we are too geeky, or something. And I have to admit, that although my first Debian was potato and I have switched to Fedora just before etch (and I have no idea, what was the number of these releases), I have never felt the smallest inclination to call my first Fedora distro anything else than Fedora Core 6.<br>

Ubuntu names are short and easy. Fedora names tend to be more obscure "Lucid" or "Precise" makes more sense than "Zod" or "Beefy" (forget the fat distro connotation...). Also the Ubuntu pattern is clear and wellknown (Adjective and animal name). I am still not sure how we got from Superman's nemesis to hot dogs (at least I think that is where "beefy miracle" came from...).<br clear="all">
