Ubuntu's Latest Alpha: 15-Second Boot Time
,----[ Quote ]
| Now that Alpha 2 of Lucid Lynx is available
| (it was posted late last week) it's easy
| enough to install that code onto the same PC
| test bed and measure the results. This
| version of the Ubuntu 10.04 beta booted up in
| -- wait for it -- 15 seconds. If you were
| around during the days of Windows 3.1, the
| concept of a 15-second boot time would be
| almost unfathomable. Come to think of it, it
| would be tough to imagine during the days of
| Windows Vista.

Sidux 2009-4 success: A little help from Ubuntu Lucid Alpha 2 goes a long way
,----[ Quote ]
| I'll get to Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS Alpha 2
| later, but the "safe graphics mode" boot
| option in that very Ubuntu live DVD helped me
| figure out how to get Sidux 2009-04 to boot
| on my Intel 82830 CGC (aka Intel 830m)
| graphics-running Toshiba Satellite 1100-S101.
|
| Over the course of two computing sessions I
| experienced both the Alpha 2 of the upcoming
| Ubuntu LTS release as well as the Sidux take
| on Debian Sid, circa early last year, both of
| which I've wanted to do in order to "plan"
| this laptop's future when I decide to leave
| Debian Lenny behind.

Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 Alpha 2: First impressions on 'difficult' hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu Lucid isn't even in the beta stage,
| let alone a release-candidate or fully baked
| release, and on my hardware it's looking
| very, very good. I'm no fan of free-software
| hyperbole, but Ubuntu Lucid really does look
| like the best Ubuntu LTS release ever, and
| I'm anxious to see it at release time in
| April.

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.
