Whatâs Coming In Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)

,----[ Quote ]
| Now that Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is out 
| and stable I thought I would look into what 
| is on the horizon for the next release of 
| Ubuntu. There are a lot of questions that I 
| have about the next release and I have found 
| some solid answers, rumors and a lot of 
| speculation as to what the next release will 
| have.
| 
| Ubuntu has committed to have a regular 
| release schedule. I came across a lot of 
| mixed feelings about this idea/concept. Some 
| people feel that this regular release gets 
| in the way of how users see the 
| distribution. Some users like to be on the 
| edge of technology and what the developers 
| have made for the release. Once people get 
| used to that release it is about time for 
| another release that uses new ideas and 
| concepts.

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.
