Looking at the main page at trinitydesktop.org, you see "Debian Lenny" and
"Debian Squeeze", not "Debian 5.0" and "Debian 6.0". This
may be what the OP was referring to. The only reason I know the difference is because I
have been using Debian for just under a year. If I hadn't done my research on Debian
beforehand, I'd have no inkling of an idea what "Squeeze" and
"Lenny" referred to. Since I'm not an Ubuntu user, I have not been keeping
track of their code names, so I could not tell you the difference between
"Karmic" and "Lucid" except that they are two different versions of
Ubuntu, but I do not know what those versions are.

But the OP actually said:

Now, i have to cope with childish names. Even the download page for Ubuntu
uses version numbers, so it´s not even possible for me to decide which is
which.

And PLEASE, use version numbers in the future!
</quote> I am baffled by this. Ubuntu _has_ got version
numbers. 9.04, 9.10,
10.04, 10.10, 11.04, 11.10 etc., and they go in numerical order. The
fact that they also tell you when exactly that version was released
doesn't detract from that.
And Trinity certainly has numbers (in numerical order). So as I say, I
am unable to understand the problem.....
i think the OP had just the problem to always remember the correct relation
between code name and version number, e.g. what was exactly maverick ?
(10.04, 10.10 ?)
- i confirm having this problem also, from time to time :)
