My Ubuntu is powered by "Sneaky Weasel"

Bukan cuma distribusi Linux (misalnya Ubuntu, Linux Mint, atau Fedora) saja yang memiliki nama/codename, kernel nya pun punya nama sendiri. Kebanyakan Linux (kernel) dengan versi 2.6 dan 3.x diberikan sebuah nama yang bisa ditemukan dalam Makefile dari kode sumbernya (source code). Makefile dan kode sumbernya bisa Anda temukan pada repositori git.
Sebagai contoh untuk Linux 3.2-rc1:

VERSION = 3
PATCHLEVEL = 2
SUBLEVEL = 0
EXTRAVERSION = -rc2
NAME = Saber-toothed Squirrel
