I don't see any need/use for code names at all
names usually don't mean anything... they are used to make memory easier.
other distros uses year.month numeric and/or name
openSUSE naming is completely absurd and changing it would be a good thing.
The idea of colours is very good
Since I mentioned colors I should state I actually prefer an idea related to YY.MM detail/naming. One (the?) important piece of info not communicated is the 'expiry'/lifetime/time-to-live information of a distro's release Referring to: http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Linux_Lifetime We would have/had: 10.2 -> 10-08.11 10.3 -> 10-09.10 11.0 -> 11-10.06 11.1 -> 11-10.12 11.2 -> 11-??.?? This way I get _much_ more useful info and: - it is implicit that 10-08.11 was released before 10-09.10 - I don't care when the release was made - I do care when its lifetime will be 'over' - encourages people to test/adopt the living releases. - discourages a novice from inadvertently hanging onto a release beyond its 'lifetime'. I do like the Ubuntu LTS, and I like the CentOS long lifetime too, but that issue is, I suspect, another can of worms :) Cheers
