Ubuntu Desktop Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 Work Item Update
,----[ Quote ]
| As you are probably aware, in Lucid the
| platform team is working and re-planning in
| three separate milestones. Last week we passed
| the first such milestone, Alpha 2. The desktop
| team then re-planned for the next milestone,
| Alpha 3. This posting provides a chance to
| understand those plans. Note that these work
| items are documented in detail on the relevant
| blueprints.

Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2 Removes HAL
,----[ Quote ]
| "HAL" unfortunately isn't the heinous
| supercomputer from Kubrick's film 2001, but
| Ubuntu's Hardware Abstraction Layer between
| Ubuntu's hardware and software. It has now
| disappeared entirely from the current
| Ubuntu 10.04 test version, it's function
| being taken over among other things by
| DeviceKit. The advantage to this, according
| to the official announcement, is that
| Ubuntu has a faster boot and startup from
| hibernate time.

Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2 Benchmarks With Early Fedora 13 Numbers
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, there are both good and bad
| performance improvements for Ubuntu 10.04
| LTS Alpha 2 in relation to Ubuntu 9.10.
| Most of the negative regressions are
| attributed to the EXT4 file-system losing
| some of its performance charm. With using a
| pre-alpha snapshot of Fedora 13 and the
| benchmark results just being provided for
| reference purposes, we will hold off on
| looking into greater detail at this next
| Red Hat Linux update until it matures. You
| can run your own tests though if you wish
| using our open-source Phoronix Test Suite
| benchmarking platform.
