So the Trinity website, not the Ubuntu website, uses names not version
numbers?
You could say that if you have the right version of Debian or Ubuntu you will
recognise the name. If you have not got a version, and do not recognise the
name, you don't want that download anyway.

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. On Saturday 18 February 2012 11:07:56 Lisi

Me too! They are even more silly than teh Debian ones - and taht takes

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 :)
