Measuring Ubuntu’s Market Share
,----[ Quote ]
| It’s clear from the approaches above that putting a hard number on Ubuntu’s
| market share is impossible. Canonical seems reluctant to put forward any
| qualified figure, which is unfortunate–minimally, it would be nice to see an
| honest attempt at transparent analysis similar to Fedora’s statistics.

Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 2 Released
,----[ Quote ]
| We should start this article by letting everyone know that Ubuntu 9.10
| (Karmic Koala), due for release in late October this year, will not have that
| professional theme everyone was expecting, as stated by Mark Shuttleworth
| himself in the Ubuntu Open Week Q & A:
|
| "It has taken a long, long time to pull together a design team. I had hoped
| to have that team in place six months ago, but it's still forming. I think we
| will make good progress in the next cycle, you can already see a few things
| that have borne fruit from that team: notifications, time zone selector in
| installer, etc, but it's fragmentary. I'm pretty darn confident we'll have a
| new look for 10.04 but I think only pieces of that will emerge for 9.10."

Karmic Desktop UDS run-down!
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall it is gearing up to be a pretty radical and exciting release; there
| are some changes to the default application set as well as some major version
| upgrades of existing core components. We are trying to be fairly aggressive
| in terms of new stuff so that if Canonical wants Karmic+1 to be an LTS (Long
| Term Support) release, we can have fairly stabilized new technologies by then
| (thanks to 6 months of stabilization in the Karmic cycle) instead of having
| to wait until after the LTS (Karmic+2) to introduce them. Since many of these
| changes would be too radical to first appear in an LTS, if we don't upgrade
| now we may not be able to for a year, and have to maintain old versions for
| 3-5 years in the LTS.

Ubuntu 9.10 Off To A Great Performance Start
,----[ Quote ]
| Wow, while there may not be many end-user improvements in Ubuntu 9.10 yet and
| the desktop looks just like that of Ubuntu 9.04, there does seem to be some
| performance improvements. Besides the huge SQLite improvement that did not
| come as a surprise, there are better compilation times with GCC 4.4, much
| better disk performance with the newer Linux kernel, and other improvements
| throughout. One area that still needs to be improved upon is with the Intel
| Linux graphics performance after going through radical changes with kernel
| mode-setting, DRI2, and the Graphics Execution Manager.

Karmic Alpha 1 released
,----[ Quote ]
| Welcome to Karmic Koala Alpha 1, which will in time become Ubuntu 9.10.
|
| Pre-releases of Karmic are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable
| system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even
| frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and
| those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs.

Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 1 Released
,----[ Quote ]
| The system is fast as usual, with no major problems at the moment, except for
| the fact that the video drivers don't work, yet. As always, we did not expect
| something exciting from the first, and not even from the next two or three
| alpha versions of Ubuntu. Probably starting with the fifth or sixth alpha we
| will see some big changes, like that professional theme everyone is still
| waiting for, and which Mark Shuttleworth promised us.
