What do these funny names like Dapper mean?

Frequently Asked Questions | Ubuntu
We name all of our development releases with catchy animal names. This started with the early days of Ubuntu, before it was called Ubuntu, when Robert Collins, upon hearing of the six month release schedule, said "That is going to be pretty warty. Lets call it Warty Warthog". The naming convention stuck. Here is a quick table to help you: Note: The official way to refer to a released version of Ubuntu is by the number, not the name. Thus the current version of Ubuntu is 7.

What are all those names like slink, potato, etc.?

The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ - Debian¡¢LFS¡¢GentooרÌâ°æ - Linux...
They are just "codenames". When a Debian distribution is in the development stage, it has no version number but a codename. The purpose of these codenames is to make easier the mirroring of the Debian distributions (if a real directory like unstable suddenly changed its name to stable, a lot of stuff would have to be needlessly downloaded again). Currently, stable is a symbolic link to sarge (i.e. Debian GNU/Linux 3.1) and testing is a symbolic link to etch.

In Charleston Water's case, algae in our surface water—when put through the treatment process—can give off harmless compounds that may cause the water to taste “earthy” or “musty.” In most cases, taste and odor are purely aesthetic concerns, and are not reliable indicators of water quality.
