At the most recent Ubucon it was announced, by Mark Shuttleworth himself, that the next major version of Ubuntu will be called Lucid Lynx.
This release carries on using the unique naming conventions the creators of Ubuntu make use of.
It has been explained the reason Lucid Lynx has been used is because the word lucid means to be clear and the lynx is a thoughtful predator. Both which are very good definition of what Ubuntu has become.
Here is a video clip from Youtube with Mark making the announcement.
Seriously, wtf? You might think I’m joking, and if I were you I’d also think I was joking, but I’m not.
After searching for quite a bit, I’m starting to get more and more information about it.
For one thing, it was hosted on http://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/ for a few days before it was taken down. Probably due to trademark issues.
I have been able to find a few torrents that are still offering it as a download.
The verdict is that it’s true, there is a Hannah Montana Linux out there. It’s basically Kubuntu with a customized theme installed. Apparently the advertising of it started on Twitter and just spread like wild fire. The power of the Internet hey?
