Preload Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope By shannon_vanwagner,  Apr 29, 2009

The new Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope GNU/Linux has many great features to make it a significant upgrade from the 8.04.

Some improvements are:
  • Much faster boot times due to ext4 file system and other optimizations
  • Cleaner graphics and a better notifications mechanism
  • Newer Linux Kernel
  • Improved Power Management
  • Improved cd burner application
  • Improved handling of multiple monitors, formerly a sore spot for Linux
  • Performance increases across the board
  • Better themes and backgrounds
I also suggest that Dell keep with the latest LTS upgrades yearly to remain cutting edge.

I've got Jaunty on mine and it's fantastic. Also improved the look somewhat with Mac4Lin - http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin

love ubuntu. but linux is improving way too rapidly for an oem to keep up with the new versions every 6 months. it should only be once a year updates
