Behind the story of Intrepid Ibex
I just want to share about the definition of “Intrepid Ibex” that has been taken by ubuntu as the latest ubuntu’s Codename.
Intrepid
Adjective
fearless or bold [Latin in- not + trepidus fearful]
intrepidity n
intrepidly adv

Ibex from Iberian
An ibex is an individual of any of several species of wild mountain goats (genus Capra), distinguished by the male’s large recurved horns, which are transversely ridged in front. Ibex are found in Eurasia, North Africa, and East Africa. The name ibex comes from Latin, borrowed from Iberian or Aquitanian, akin to Old Spanish bezerro “bull”, modern Spanish becerro “yearling”. Ranging in height from 27 to 43 inches and weighing 200 to 270 pounds (90 to 120 kg), the ibex can live 20 years. (The two species of wild goats that are usually not called ibex are the markhor and the wild goat.)
So, Intrepid Ibex as my own opinion is a Fearless goat from Iberian. He’s a strong animal that can take the chalange of any trouble. Is Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex will be like this definition, let’s try it first than let see what he can do.
