Linux Ubuntu 9.04 Release is Underway
Linux Ubuntu’s latest stable release is Ubuntu 8.10 and we’ve been using this since its first day of release. Now, Linux Ubuntu get an update and its version 9.04 is about to be seen a few days from now. Linux Ubuntu 9.04 features have not been revealed yet but we assume it addresses some bugs in the 8.10 release. There is no perfect software and we expect no Linux distro to be perfect as well. But we love Linux and we will keep on supporting the opensource community in any way we can.
Windows 7 or Linux Ubuntu 8.10: Which is Faster After Windows 7 Tested Slow?
Windows 7 was recently tested and it was found out that Windows 7 is not that fast (contrary to Microsoft’s hope that it will be faster than Windows Vista). This result was based on benchmark tests conducted by several beta testers of Windows 7. This begs the question “Which is faster between Windows 7 and Linux Ubuntu 8.10?” I even questioned in my article if Windows 7 is just an upgraded Windows Vista and testers confirmed that it actually was after testing.
On the other hand, Linux Ubuntu 8.10 is the latest Linux distro which I have tested myself and I really find the new Linux Ubuntu 8.10 very fast using my Lenovo G410 laptop. Windows 7 has yet to be tested by this author. Since the Windows 7 released by Microsoft for testing is still in the Beta stage, I might as well wait for the version up for public release in mid-2009 (Windows 7’s release date). For now, I will stick with Windows Vista and Linux Ubuntu 8.10 as my operating systems for my notebook.
I only hope that Microsoft can still come up with solutions to perceived speed problems and the Vista “look and feel” of Windows 7 before the release date. With Microsoft’s resources, I’m sure they’ll find ways to address the weaknesses of Windows 7 Beta.
Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition Features
After blogging the Latest Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition Features and Release Date, I am posting here the features of the latest Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition which allegedly enhances Java, virtualization and system management capabilities. Sounds cool, huh?
Ok, without further ado, here are the great features of the Ubuntu 8.10 server edition:
Virtualisation
Building on the Just Enough Operating System (JeOS) version launched last year, Ubuntu 8.10 ships with a Virtual Machine builder. It allows complete Virtual Machines to be built from the command line in less than five minutes. Developers and system administrators can script the creation of custom virtual images. Vm-builder provides a key component to a dynamic provisioning process for businesses using virtualisation environments.
Latest Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Edition Features and Release Date
I have been using Linux Ubuntu 7.04 for a few months now and I really love the features of the Ubuntu desktop version. I’ve been waiting eagerly for the release of Linux Ubuntu 8.10 which will be released on October 30 this year. I am excited to see the features of the latest Linux Ubuntu 8.10 which are truly promising.
The reason why I use Linux Ubuntu as my second operating system is simple – to have a second OS that will serve me well when Windows XP or Windows Vista crashes (of course we have experienced this at least once I’m sure).
