Ubuntu 9.04 has arrived!


Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was released a few days ago and I must say that it has certainly improved quite a lot!

One of the first things noticed after installing Ubuntu 9.04 was the MUCH faster bootup time! There wasn’t much difference when booted up Ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop (as it already boots up pretty fast anyways) but there was a noticeable difference when booting Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop. Normally it takes about 1-2 minutes to FULLY boot up (by fully boot up it means everything is done loading and nothing else is being loaded).

After Ubuntu 9.04 was installed the boot up time was around 30 seconds, a MAJOR improvement! Openoffice was also updated to 3.0.1, but the one thing that really caught my eye was a “Notification” window. It’s pretty neat and useful like when you’re expecting an important email yet you have a document to type up the notification window can notify you when the email arrives so you don’t need to go back and forth, back and forth thinking “Where is that email?”

Got my copy of Ubuntu 8.10 today

Finally got my free copy of Ubuntu 8.10 in the mail today. Sweet. That made my day today. Comes with stickers so I can show off Ubuntu and do free advertising for them too! (Which I will)

Ubuntu 8.10

Okay, Ubuntu 8.10 is here, but I still haven’t had time to boot up Ubuntu to upgrade it yet.
But here’s a great tip if you haven’t upgraded as well: Go to terminal and type  

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This will save you time instead of having to download a disk image, mounting it, etc.
