I believe the new Ubuntu release this October (12.10) should be called Quixotic Quetzal.
Credit for coming up with it goes to this guy, whose post I saw when I searched for "Questing Quetzal". Since, questing is sort of a sub-set of being quixotic, I'm going with that instead! I think it especially fits because this will not be an LTS and so it will be forgotten like a lost fool soon enough.
They'll probably just go with Quick Quahog.
Quicker Quokka (love this one too)
Quintessential Quagga
Quashed Quadrate
Queefing Quillpig (rofl)
Quadriphonic Quadricorn
Quality Quoll
Quaking Quail
Qualmish Quadrisectus
Quaffing Quiqui

Installing PyOpenGL-3.0.1 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Why couldn't I find this in the first 6 hours of searching???
http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/download.html
And right there at the "Cheese Shop" too... aye aye yae! The instructions for installing were on page 8 of the 50 page document.
(*note: if you are seeing this for the first time be sure and install the necessary dependencies [see below], AND remove any former installations of PyOpenGL, such as PyOpenGL-3.0.0 before continuing)
All I had to do was download the tarball from http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.0.1/Python-3.0.1.tar.bz2
Move it to /usr/local/src
Right click on it and choose "extract here".
Open a terminal and type:
cd /usr/local/src/PyOpenGL-3.0.1
Then:
sudo python setup.py install
Entered my password and watched it go.
Just like that I was back in business and running the afore mentioned demo on my other machine.
I should throw in a caveat here. I did in fact first install Numpy, PIL, and GLUT as dependencies already, for when I was running PyOpenGL-3.0.0. These all have executable "instant" installers available so long as you are running python 2.6. Find them here.
To remove former installation PyOpenGL-3.0.0 I just opened Synaptic Package Manager (System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager) searched for "pyopengl", right clicked on "...3.0.0" when it showed up, and selected "Remove Completely".
