Ubuntu 9.04 Hits Beta!
Originally published on Tech Cores in 2009. Kept for posterity, so some details are likely out of date.
Ubuntu 9.04 has finally hit beta after several months in an alpha stage! Ubuntu 9.04 delivers a lot of new features that enhance the operating system even more!
Some of the new features are the following:
- Gnome 2.26: Always great when Gnome is updated
- A nice CD/DVD burning software called Brasero: This is one great feature! This is one of the best and simplest burning software I have ever used!
- New features for dual-screen monitors: much easier to manage
- And one of my favorite systems, a new notification system! I swear, this notification system literally works with every app!
- With Ubuntu 9.04, we have a new file system! EXT4... which improves file writing/reading speeds opposed to EXT3, which most Linux distributions use today!
- And lots more cool features!
Enjoy Ubuntu 9.04! I bet we all cannot wait for this to hit the release candidate (RC) stage! :)
