What should become of Edubuntu?
,----[ Quote ]
| Some people suggested that it’s better to contribute to the upstream
| educational projects rather than Edubuntu directly. I think fixing upstream
| bugs and adding features is awesome, but having a pre-packaged solution for
| teachers is equally cool and just as important.

Quick look at Ubuntu 9.04
,----[ Quote ]
| This release of Ubuntu is no huge advance over the previous version, but the
| previous version was no huge leap over the version before. With Ubuntu, there
| is a steady improvement in usability, compatibility and features, and this is
| a safe and stable release, if a little uninspiring, however, turning Compiz
| on spices things up a little.

Ubuntu 9.04: Wow
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, it’s time you wow the general public. Right? You have what could easily
| stand as the most significant and improved release of any Linux distribution
| available. It’s time to make the fat lady over at Microsoft sing. Before the
| official release of Windows 7 is out and over shadows you with glitz,
| glamour, and shiny shrink-wrapped packaging you must do something with
| yourself. Put on a beautiful prom dress and show the crowd you really deserve
| to be prom queen. If you don’t, this brilliant release will not see the
| wide-spread installation it should.

| The one thing that amazed me was the speed, I am not talking just about the
| very much improved boot speed but about the speed the programs begun to
| start.
| Firefox with 10 tabs reopened (after addons installation) in just a few
| seconds ! all tabs where open like I never closed it - I have never seen this
| before !

| Performance is excellent.

| such).

Reflections on ten releases of Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| Such rapid growth has brought about great challenges in all of these areas,
| and provided plenty of opportunity for personal development. I’ve had the
| opportunity to work with the most talented and dedicated team of my career, a
| team which spans corporate, national and social boundaries. Together, we’ve
| broken new ground in realizing the potential of free software.

Ubuntu 9.04 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| One standard, but remarkable (because it outdoes Vista) feature of Ubuntu is
| the Compiz Fusion 3D desktop, which has enables some really cool effects. Of
| course, for this feature to function you need a 3D accelerated graphics card.

A Kid’s review of Ubuntu

| She said she liked the sounds that accompany when she plays games that are
| not there in Windows. Moreover, she liked the penguins pretty much, which is
| of course a common feature of Linux distros. :)

Ubuntu 9.04 Review - Desktop Emphasis on the Jaunty Jackalope
,----[ Quote ]
| First, my only complaint with this release is that it gave me very little to
| write about. Very few earthbreaking features, but rock solid stability.
|
| But. The But. This is the Distro. The Distro that has finally won me over
| from the SUSE camp. The swaying points were the theme, stability and speed.
|
| To put it in better words, this distro takes over from openSUSE as my primary
| distro. At least, until SUSE 11.2.

UBUNTU 9.04 REVIEW
,----[ Quote ]
| I was originally an Apple-centric developer back in the days who then shifted
| to writing software for Microsoft OSes just because that’s “where the money
| was” and where businesses were nailed into. Apple has since replaced their
| original OS for BSD Linux. The Linux OS itself has matured and flourished
| since my original exposure to Slackware, RedHat and SUSE Linux.

Kudos to Ubuntu for a great upgrade experience!

| So kudos to the Ubuntu developers (and all other Linux developers I guess for
| a great underlying architecture).

Ubuntu 9.04 as slick as Windows 7, Mac OS X
,----[ Quote ]
| Looking back to the genesis of Ubuntu 9.04 six months ago, I suspect that its
| subtle but powerful changes are due to the new user interface team that
| Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth said at the time he would put in place. If
| so, that team has already earned its paychecks and even more, and we're
| looking forward to seeing what another six months of development will
| produce.
|
| In the meantime, kudos to Ubuntu 9.04: you got game.
