Unbuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) tomorrow



Since I was kinda on the topic of Ubuntu Linux yesterday, I thought that I'd write a bit about Ubuntu.

Tomorrow will be the release of Ubuntu 9.04. Ubuntu uses a short release cycle (apart from their LTS release - Long Term Support). Their release coincides with the updates to GNOME (the GUI used) and happens ever April and October. There will be a couple more changes to Ubuntu apart from GNOME. A quick gander shows that they've improved the already fast boot time, made it easier to set up multi-monitors (as if it wasn't easy enough already), new file system support, and I believe that the latest version of open office will come out with it (Not that I really like open office).

Can't wait for tomorrow. Hopefully when they say 4/23/09, its somewhere like GMT or something.... :p
