Mark Shuttleworth released the name for the Ubuntu 7.10 release, the Gutsy Gibbon.
According to TheFreeDictionary.com:

1. Marked by courage or daring; plucky.
2. Robust and uninhibited; lusty: “the gutsy . . . intensity of her musical involvement” Judith Crist.
gib·bon (gbn)
n.
Any of several small arboreal apes of the genus Hylobates of southeast Asia and the East Indies, having a slender body, long arms, and no tail.
In marketing speak, The Gutsy Gibbon will have long reaching effects and will explore daring new technologies.

I do look forward to see Composite-by-Default become a reality in Gutsy. Also, the new Ubuntu version that will be completely open source and free of binary drivers is also exciting.

Never blog early in the morning if you are a crappy writer in the first place.
Gibbon? That’s not even South African! I was expecting Graceful Gazelle or Graceful Giraffe!
You don’t find gibbons in the Drakensbergs.
