Each Ubuntu release is associated with a number and name. The release number is the year and month of the release in an internationalized format. So ‘‘6.06’’ is July 2006 and ‘‘9.04’’ is April 2009 (and not September 2004). Each release is also associated with a common name. Releases are commonly referred to by their names. For example, 9.04 is commonly called Jaunty Jackalope or simply Jaunty.

While most releases have 18 months of support, every other year a long-term support (LTS) version is released. The LTS releases provide three years of updates for the desktop, and five years for servers. The LTS is an excellent option for systems that cannot afford to be completely replaced every 18 months.
