Summarizing Ubuntu 9.04
As you already know the new version of Ubuntu 9.04 is due to release later today. Several new features are included in the new version like: kernel 2.6.28-11.37, Gnome 2.26, and the a-lot-talked-about Ext4 file system. The main focus has been user experience. They have also worked hard on making the system boot faster.
I have gathered some links to other blogs/news-sites if you’re interested in more reading.
Some good sourced in-depth articles:
- Arstechnica’s talk about the release candidate.
- TG Daily, high-level talk about new features.
- Lifehacker’s first look at the beta.
Who doesn’t like an operating system that boots and opens FireFox in approx 25 seconds?
