Purpose
The names of each release (e.g., Breezy Badger, Dapper Drake) are development code names and typically for internal use only. The official version number follows a Y.MM naming scheme (e.g., Version 5.10, Version 6.06). We don't want to use the version numbers prior to the actual release, as it increases the likelihood that a pre-release version will be mistaken for a final release. Similarly, we don't want the code names to be visible to the user once the final release has been made.
This page lists places where the code names are visible to the user in Ubuntu. Each should be replaced with either Ubuntu or Ubuntu X.XX prior to creation of the final images.
Places to change
base-files (/etc/issue, /etc/issue.net, /etc/lsb-release, /etc/os-release)
The default home page (file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html) uses the code name on the top line.
