    Ubuntu is the distribution, 8.10 is the release number based on the date 2008 10/October and Intrepid Ibex is the release codename.

    Each Ubuntu release is given a codename as is the case with many distributions. In Ubuntu's case it's an alliterative name describing a creature and its supposed character, e.g. Dapper Drake, Edgy Eft, Feisty Fawn etc.

    The upcoming April release will be 9.04 (2009/04) and is codenamed Jaunty Jackalope.

    No, that theme was a proof of concept, nothing more. It can't be had in any version of Ubuntu right now.

    As far as I know, the theme doesn't actually exist. The picture was a mockup, a fake made for demonstration purposes of what the designer would *like* Ubuntu to look like.
