I hoped to see derivatives too. I want the nostalgia of old lubuntu and xubuntu releases. I keep them in a folder, but it’s easy to just download and extract the debs, as they are saying at the bottom of the article

Alt gorilla version name I wanted to see: Guerilla Gorilla. Could've even kept the wallpaper the same.

> Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex also had its namesake animal on the default wallpaper, but more subtle than the last release.

That was an Ibex? All this time I thought it was a coffee stain.
