Sejak awal memang aku gak gitu pay attention on code name used in Linux Mint releases. Maklum aja, I began using Linux Mint in its version 3.1 with code name Celena. I thought that Linux Mint developer just like Ubuntu developer who used a code name for its “products”. Ya it just because Linux Mint known as derivation of Ubuntu (but with full audio video CODEC) so it has similarities on many things.

Belakangan I knew that code name used on Linux Mint sounds like a girl name (lebih tepatnya maybe feminine code name I thought). I became more penasaran ketika masuk versi 5 code name Elyssa. So, I tried searching the code names before it. Finally I got the answer and it’s like something yang diurutkan based on alphabet and end with “a”. Why? Here is the answer:

Pay attention on Linux Mint code name below

Linux Mint 1.0 code name AurorA
Linux Mint 2.1 code name BeA
Linux Mint 2.2 code name BiancA
Linux Mint 3.0 code name CassandrA
Linux Mint 3.1 code name CelenA
Linux Mint 4.0 code name DarynA
Linux Mint 5.0 code name ElyssA

Can you find the answer? Yeah, it’s ordered by with its code name. First letter is A and its version is 1.0 (aurorA). First letter is B and its version is 2.1 (beA). First letter is B and its version is 2.2 (biancA). First letter is C and its version is 3.0 (cassandrA) etc. Maybe it just simple thing but it’s quite interesting for me. I hope Linux Mint will be better in the future!
