Ubuntu 9.04 Coming Soon. Whats New?

| linux | ubuntu | tech |

Whats new in the latest Release of Ubuntu Linux version 9.04? There are a lot of upgrades going into this release but these are some of the ones that I am most excited about.

  1. Gnome 2.26 Desktop. The latest version of Ubuntu comes with the latest version of Gnome 2.26. This is my personal favorite desktop system and there are a lot of good things to look forward to with this release.

  2. Better multiple monitor management. I have always had issued getting more than one monitor to work properly in ubuntu but hopefully with the new display preferences application it will become much easier.

  3. Ext4 Filesystem Support.

  4. Cloud Computing! This fascinating new phenomenon in computer technology is going to revolutionize the way that we can connect and interact with the internet and this handy program allows it to happen in a breeze.

I am always excited when a new version of Ubuntu comes out, and this release is no different. Looking forward to experiencing all of this new technology!

Generated and suppressed demand.

Eight years ago, I wrote about my theory of restoring struggling teams, which came down to four steps: A team is falling behind if each week their backlog is longer than the week before. Solve by hiring more. A team is treading water if they’re able to get...
