Webopedia Term of the Day: What is Oneiric Ocelot?

“Oneiric Ocelot is the Ubuntu codename for version 11.10 of the
Ubuntu Linux-based operating system. Officially released in October
2011, Oneiric Ocelot’s updates included an improved Dash,
additional refinements to the Unity interface introduced in Natty
Narwhal, an overhauled Ubuntu Software Center, a new login screen,
the inclusion of Mozilla Thunderbird as the default mail client and
more.

“Oneiric means “dreamy,” and the ocelot is a domestic-sized cat
native to South and Central America. Oneiric Ocelot followed the
Natty Narwhal (v11.04) release of Ubuntu and will be succeeded by
Precise Pangolin in 2012.”
