Exciting Features For Ubuntu 9.04

For those of you looking forward to the release of Ubuntu 9.04, the alternative OS gurus at Phoronix have a little info for you. What do you guys think of Ubuntu and the direction it has taken since we spent a month using it last year? Do you like the changes?

If all goes according to plan, the first alpha release for Ubuntu 9.04 (the Jaunty Jackalope) will be released tomorrow. It's not even been one month since the release of Ubuntu 8.10, but this first alpha release will show early signs of what we can expect to see in this next Canonical-sponsored release -- albeit many of the features are still in planning. In this article we will provide a glimpse at what Ubuntu 9.04 should hold in store to captivate Linux desktop users.
