A preview of Ubuntu 10.04
,----[ Quote ]
| These are just the first few things I
| discovered after installing Ubuntu 10.04 â
| Lucid Lynx. You can learn more about Lucid
| Lynx and download the latest test build from
| Ubuntuâs website. I would not recommend
| upgrading your system to this alpha release
| because it still contains a lot of bugs at
| this stage. If you have never used Ubuntu
| and would like to give it a try you can
| obtain a copy of Ubuntu 9.10 (the most
| current release) here. If you have limited
| bandwidth, slow internet, or you just donât
| want to download it then you can also
| request a copy of it to be mailed to you for
| free.

| "something to do with..." the branding of
| Ubuntu and/or Canonical, the colour scheme
| used for them and "possibly the logo".

Ubuntu founder stops by Round Rock
,----[ Quote ]
| My favorite cosmonaut-coder Mark
| Shuttleworth stopped by our offices this
| morning for a visit. Mark is the founder of
| both the Linux distribution Ubuntu and its
| commercial sponsor Canonical. Mark and I
| sat down in the lobby and caught up. Here
| is a short interview we recorded.

Why I Switched from Ubuntu One back to Dropbox
,----[ Quote ]
| As many of you surely know, Dropbox and
| Ubuntu One are applications to keep files on
| your desktop in sync across multiple
| computers, and backed up in the cloud. After
| using Dropbox for a year or so on Ubuntu,
| the Ubuntu One project came out and I
| thought I'd move over to it. I assumed it
| would be easier to set up, being pre-
| installed, and could integrate better with
| the file manager and other applications,
| being made specifically for Ubuntu.

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.
