Canonical will make its much anticipated Ubuntu 9.04 upgrade available for download on Thursday.
The platform –which includes a desktop, server and netbook edition — offers faster bootups (as fast as 25 seconds, its developers say), cloud support, OpenOffice 3.0, support for Skype and Adobe Flash, enhanced suspend and resume capabilities and faster switching between WiFi and 3G. The 9.04 edition was launched to the market on Monday but was promised to be available for download on April 23. Unlike other Linux distros, Ubuntu rose to fame on the desktop. The new 9.04 desktop offers faster bootup times, enhanced suspend and resume features such as more time between charging and immediate access after hibernation. It also offers intelligent switching between WiFi and 3G networks, a new notification system and OpenOffice 3.0, the most advanced Microsoft Office compatible open source office suite. full story at http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=4053 -- Alok Singh Mahor Join the next generation of computing, Open Source, and Linux/GNU! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ l...@iitd community mailing list -- http://groups.google.com/group/iitdlug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
