First Look at Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope – Ubuntu 9.04

In this review I look at the user-side improvements that come with 9.04. As with my previous review of Ubuntu 8.10, the goal is to look at Ubuntu from a productivity angle, rather than fixating on technological improvements. If you have been away from Ubuntu for a while you might want to read the previous review to catch up on recent developments, all of which are carried through in this release.

Ubuntu 9.04 ‘Jaunty Jackalope’ is gold, ready for download

Sure, you can’t pronounce Ubuntu, but the latest release is ready for download anyway. Ubuntu 9.04, aka Jaunty Jackalope, comes with the promise of faster boots, better power management, immediate system access after hibernation, a new system-wide notification service, and broader device support for intelligent switching between WiFi and 3G networks. 9.04 is available in desktop, server, and netbook builds. Right, netbooks, Linux distros run just fine on netbooks regardless of what Microsoft and analysts have to say.

X-Mas gifts…… for myself.

I was surfing the net when I came across the ubuntu store who is having a 10% off sale. For some time I have wanted a shirt that let the world know of my Linux Love and especially my favorite distro. So I bought myself this………

Left 4 Dead (A Sickpillz hosting adventure) continued.

Well, it’s been some time now and I have to say that I am very impressed with how well the dedicated Left 4 Dead on Linux project is going. It runs extremely well on consumer grade bandwidth with a decently spec’d out Linux box. I still can’t get logging working but I am going try a few things and see what I can do. What I would like to post is a list of really neat commands for L4D. I found this on the Left 4 Dead Wiki.
