First encounter with Ubuntu 9.04 and conclusion
,----[ Quote ]
| In short, there may be some problem which you may face, but thats how we
| learn something new, isn’t it. So fellas, I definitely recommend you to
| install Ubuntu 9.04 and give it a shot. Ofcourse Ubuntu is going better and
| better, in terms of driver support, features and visual looks. So my
| conclusion is that, you should definitely try the all new Jaunty Jackalope
| and this was my first look at it. Go ahead, install this.

Notes on Post-Its: Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| So, though I’ve had a few problems with Ubuntu, the great thing is that
| everything can be fixed or close to being fixed. So, since I’m going to be
| using Ubuntu for at least the next couple of days, you will see a couple of
| posts centering around Ubuntu (yes, really). I’ve got to say though, using
| this computer with the speed of a new computer is very awesome. It’s going to
| make this whole sans-laptop period a whole lot easier.

First look: Ubuntu 9.10 alpha 2 brings Ext4, GRUB 2
,----[ Quote ]
| There are several major changes under the hood that users can look forward to
| in Karmic. Ext4, a new version of the standard Linux filesystem, is used by
| default for new installations. This is a step forward from Ubuntu 9.04, which
| only made Ext4 available as an option.

Distro Review: Ubuntu 9.04
,----[ Quote ]
| It’s an unscheduled stop today on my never ending distro tour. I had planned
| to look at Chakra Project next as regular readers will know, but due to a
| strange series of events I ended up sidestepping onto the recently released
| Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope. So, it would seem odd of me not to take a
| decent look and see what improvements have been made in the last 6 months.
| The last time I looked at Ubuntu in depth was actually 12 months ago with the
| 8.04 release. I found it to be a solid enough but somehow lacking a little in
| ambition. Would Jaunty jump forward with new features? I decided to find out…

Ubuntu 9.04: The official review
,----[ Quote ]
| I could easily draw a conclusion here. I could say 9.04 is an outstanding
| release for Ubuntu that offers something very positive for every level of
| user. That is my experience. From the testing I have done, this release is
| one finest releases Ubuntu has given us yet. It does have some room for
| improvement, but it does excite me to think that if this is where Linux is
| heading, the competition better be aware.

Running Ubuntu 9.04 With Older Hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu 9.04 had booted significantly faster than Ubuntu 8.10, but when it
| came to the desktop performance with this VIA Nehemiah system with 512MB of
| system memory, the performance was close between the two most recent Ubuntu
| releases. In several tests Ubuntu 8.10 was faster than Ubuntu 9.04, but the
| leads were very small and would likely go unnoticed by the desktop user. At
| least though the Ubuntu 9.04 desktop remains usable when using this
| antiquated hardware. The only tests where there was a noticeable difference
| was when testing the disk with IOzone, where Ubuntu 9.04 had delivered better
| read and write performance.

I Had a Dell Recall Battery? An Ubuntu 9.04 Feature Told Me So.
,----[ Quote ]
| This might be another good reason to install Ubuntu 9.04:
|
| Information from Ubuntu that My Battery is under recall
|
| I looked at the battery, then called up the Dell recall list. Sure enough -
| that battery was listed. Interestingly enough, I’ve had this D600 for a while
| now and there has been no problems up until a week ago when the battery
| wouldn’t take a charge. Since I usually have this machine plugged in, I never
| thought twice about it.

Open, Free, Functional, and Wrapped In a Strong Sense of Self
,----[ Quote ]
| Over at the Lynx blog, Dougie Richardson cast his vote for the best comment

| when asked whether WINE (in its own right, or as a general synonym for
| Windows compatibility) or native Linux ports were more important to Ubuntu's
| success was thought provoking.

Inside Ubuntu 9.04
,----[ Quote ]
| If you have an existing collection of music files -- as in, MP3s -- be warned
| that MP3 playback is not installed by default in Ubuntu. It has to be added
| after the fact, since shipping the OS with MP3 codecs might run afoul of
| patent issues in some countries. The good news: if you try to play just such
| a file, Ubuntu will attempt to automatically detect what's being played and
| offer to install the components needed.
|
| The same goes for Flash support -- nobody likes being stuck without their
| favorite YouTube videos! Click on a page that requires Flash in Firefox, and
| you'll get a prompt at the top to install the needed plug-ins. Use
| the "Gnash" plug-in to get Flash going (be sure to restart Firefox after you
| install it), and for certain Flash-embedded videos that require multimedia
| codecs, you'll be prompted to add the needed codecs in the same manner as
| when you try to play MP3s. Finally, you might need to restart any program
| that depends on such codecs after they're installed, or they may not
| recognize that anything's changed.

Ubuntu Jaunty Tries to Set the Usability Agenda
,----[ Quote ]
| With these perspectives in mind, Shuttleworth set to work with the Canonical
| team and announced the proposed changes on his blog in February, pointing
| readers to a description of the new notification standards.
|
| These standards depend on the exact message being transmitted. If the message
| does not require any action by a user and can wait, then the message should
| display within the application it applies to. There is no need, for instance,
| for a desktop notification when Firefox crashes because Firefox has its own
| system for displaying messages. However, if no action is needed but the user
| should read the message immediately -- for instance, if a new USB drive has
| been plugged in -- then the message should go in a notification bubble
| (so-called for its rounded corners) near the system tray.

Quick look at Ubuntu 9.04

| This release of Ubuntu is no huge advance over the previous version, but the

Ubuntu 9.04: Wow

| Now, it’s time you wow the general public. Right? You have what could easily

| 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.

| To put it in better words, this distro takes over from openSUSE as my primary
