Jaunty Jackalope the latest version of Ubuntu 9.04 is out. The looks are almost as of 8.10, with an additional package called Computer Janitor which is similar to autoclean in apt-get. This time around there are 3 ubuntu editions instead of the regular 2 editions namely Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop Edition Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix ( New Edition ) The system boot time hasn't changed much. ext4 has been added to the list of supported filesytems for the first time. In the next release it is planned to make ext4 as the default filesytem. As for game enthusiasts it would be better to avoid it for the time being as I found the nvidia-glx-180 package buggy. The driver caused my system to crash atleast 4 times before I realised the problem and disabled it. Overall the system is OK to be used by general users.
My Experiences jotted down ....
