I am one of the big Ubuntu fans. I used to use Windows XP most of the time. But after I tried Ubuntu, I knew I wouldn’t change to another OS again. It is easy to use, has a lot of community support, and I’ve had nearly no hard time using it.
And now Ubuntu 9.04 with the code name Jaunty is almost released. 13 days more when I write this article. So what’s new in Ubuntu 9.04? What makes it worthy of the wait?
New features in Ubuntu 9.04
- Using the new GNOME Desktop 2.26 (the latest) including:
- Brasero, developed by Philippe Rouquier and Luis Medinas, as an all-in-one CD burning application
- Improved handling of multiple monitors with an updated gnome-display-properties by Federico Mena Quintero.
- Using the newest X.Org Server 1.6. A number of video cards have been transitioned to free drivers as part of this update.
- New style for notifications and notification preferences
- Increased boot performance
- Ubuntu 9.04 includes the 2.6.28-11.37 kernel based on 2.6.28.8.
- Ext4 filesystem support
- Cloud computing

- And many more are coming….
So what are you waiting for? Download Ubuntu now and start using it, and you will find out what is the best operating system in the world.
