So, the Dapper Drake Beta is out, which marks the first real use of its formal name: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. The LTS distinguishes our Long Term Support releases from the fast-paced, action-packed, high-energy, six-month time-based releases (with an 18 month support period) we’ve seen so far.
But LTS is just begging for some alternative acronym action…
- Luxury Theatre Seats
- Leather Trumps Silk
- Long Tall Sally
- Lingering Table Sausage
- Lunch Time Seminar
- Leaning Toothpick Syndrome
- Laser Tracking System (we have one of these on GNOME’s Orbital Laser Platform!)
Add your suggestions in the comments!

Leaning Toothpick Syndrome is the one I’m familiar with. LTS is also a railway running through Barking, where I used to live (it’s the London, Tilbury and Southend line).
Certainly was a WTF! moment. “Ubuntu 6.06 Linux Terminal Server” ?? That was quick!

Long Tail Software
Lobster Talk Show?

Or, to go with the obnoxious trend of self-referencing acronyms, LTS Transcends Specification

Appropriate for this release Jeff
LTS :
Long Time Swindler
Lazy Time Saver
Love The Shits
List Taking Squats
Limey Talking Scott
Low Trash System

LTS immediately made me thought of “Linux Terminal Server”
With this many rediculous comments surely the most appropriate is:
LET’S TALK SHIT
Love To Sleep
I still like mine:
Late To Ship
Lovely Toe Smell
Lucid Tree Snatchers
Lassie Tears Squirrels
Laughable Title Shortening
Lower Technical School
(until about 4 years ago when the name was changed to VMBO, this was a real Dutch acronym “Lagere Technische School”)
“Look’s the shit!”
But wait, there’s more:
“Linux Takes Shape”
“Lick The Screen”
“Loads Thirty Services”
“Life tastes sweet”
“Lame Three-word Sentance”
I may be biased here, but how about “Let’s Talk Support!”
