Thanks Chris, I really appreciate the response.<br>
Sure sounds like an area that could use some improvement.<br>
I suspect there is a good reason why Linux Mint (LM) 19.3 <br>
cannot be called bionic instead of tricia. So first question <br>
is how do I cross reference names and numbers (i.e. Ubuntu <br>
bionic = 18.04). I did some looking. Is LXR needed for that?<br>
I also went into 'Release' and 'InRelease' on that website, but <br>
could not cross reference bionic to 18.04.<br>
<br>
Second question is how do I cross reference between Ubuntu and LM?<br>
i.e. LM 19.3 tricia is based on Ubuntu 18.04 bionic.<br>
<br>
I'm still looking. I will report this if I find it.<br>
<br>

<div>If you go look in <a

you will see the following Debian and Ubuntu dists

<div>As far as Ubuntu goes, bionic = 18.04, cosmic = 18.10,
disco = 19.04, eoan = 19.10, focal = 20.04, groovy = 20.10,
xenial = 16.04 and precise... wow that's 12.04 which has
been unsupported since 2017. Well anyway.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not to mention the Debian users which have the selection
of buster, jessie, stretch, trusty and unstable.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not to mention the Mint users using Ulyana which is AFAIK
based on Ubuntu 20.04 (focal)?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So probably hardcoding it to refer only to the Ubuntu 18.04
/ bionic distro and thereby also satisfying the Mint folks on
tricia would cause a lot of surprise to quite a lot of users.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also please remember that there are lots of other Ubuntu
(and Debian) derivative distros that can likely use the
appropriate Ubuntu distro.</div>
