1. Ocelot
2. Caracal
3. Serval
4. Onza

Also if you really think about, there are no official Panthers. So what is to stop Apple using other non-offical cat names?

OS X 10.6 Garfield.

Oooh, I'd love that. But I guess there are copyright issues there, as long as Apple wants to use their internal codenames as product names.

Yes, I think Apple should follow Mozilla's lead and use copyrighted name after copyrighted name.

("Firefox" is at least the third name for that product, following Pheonix and Firebird.)

They should make it simple and start using the names of Pokémon. "Mac OS Snorlax" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

I still like "Mac OS X 10.6". Sounds professional. Good. Nothing fluffy about it, but it works.

That has its own problems. "Ten ten" does not sound clean. "Mac OS 10.6" would be swell. Heck, I'd accept "Mac OS X.VI" or even "Mac OS X 6.0". But putting the major number in there twice, as Apple has done ever since 10.0, is really annoying. I mean, it's not version 10 of Mac OS X! At least using names downplays this sloppiness.

Or why go 10.6? Go to OS XI directly.
Some years ago fryke suggested Elephant as a next codename.
That sounds good.. big, gray, and bloated. XI.
