Ubuntu 10.04's Nouveau Stack Gets Ready
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the slated features for Ubuntu 10.04
| early on in its development cycle was
| support for the Nouveau graphics driver on
| NVIDIA hardware since it's much better than
| the xf86-video-nv driver mess and has a much
| brighter future, which is especially
| important with 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" being a
| Long-Term Support (LTS) release. This was
| prior to Nouveau going mainline with Linux
| 2.6.33, but Ubuntu Lucid is running with the
| Linux 2.6.32 kernel so as a result Nouveau's
| DRM was back-ported.

My (Updated) Experiences with Ubuntu 9.10
,----[ Quote ]
| While I almost completely switched to Arch
| Linux for all of my computers, my wife is
| still an Ubuntu girl, and probably always
| will be. She just loves it, and all of her
| computers run it. She recently purchased a
| netbook that came with Windows 7, and she
| immediately wanted me to wipe it and put
| Ubuntu on it. While I offered to install the
| UNR version (Ubuntu Netbook Remix) on it she
| made it clear that she just wanted standard
| Ubuntu, and thatâs what I did. In addition,
| I inherited a netbook as well, though I
| decided that I would give the UNR edition a
| try.

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.
