Jaunty Jackalope

Ubuntu 9.04 – Jaunty Jackalope beta has hit the Canonicle servers.  Full release is due at the end of April.  I’m going to give the 32bit desktop edition a run out on my laptop over the weekend.

9.04 promises Open Office 3.01 and the new ext4 filesystem which is reporting faster boot up times.  No 2.6.29 kernel however as the development team will freeze the feature set before its release.  9.04 will ship with 2.6.28 stable.  Ubuntu 9.10 will be shipping with 2.6.30 or 2.6.31… or neither if we’re all credit crunched to oblivion :p
