Ubuntu 8.10 … err. 9.04
Posted in Technology on October 4th, 2008
::EDIT:: Looks like they updated the image my blog was pointing to. I actually have been running the alpha/beta of 9.04 for about 5 weeks, and it’s pretty sweet. Suspend is finally working completely correctly on my laptop which rocks, even though some of the need for it has been gotten rid of by the RIDICULOUSLY FAST BOOT TIMES. Seriously, like <30sec. Also, the new notification system is pretty nice, though I miss being able to click on things in notification bubbles (like sending a message to a Pidgin buddy who’s just come online).
::/EDIT::
I’ve been running the beta for a while now. Aside from not supporting my hardware well at all (my nVidia GeForce 4 MX and my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1950), it’s a snappy new release with lots of cool features. (Tabbed file management!)
