It is ideal for all those tasks I need to do. I have been running it from version 8.04 onwards. Now it is nearly time to upgrade again with 9.10 just around the corner. This will be another LTS release (Long Term Support). So here’s the countdown….

I have checked out the alpha and beta releases and they look spectacular. Definite improvements over 9.04. I’m also very interested in the advancement of the server side with cloud computing being the big new thing.

Ubuntu 9.04 is just around the corner. The official Beta was launched today. Lots of new stuff. One thing fascinates me very much and that is the Amazon EC2 compatible cloud computing option (Eucalyptus). That has the potential of revolutionising the datacentre. Can’t wait to migrate one of our old 19″ boxes…

Other cool features are the new messaging mode for the desktop and the inclusion of the Ext4 file system.

So 9.04 is something definitely worth looking out for. Oh and also have a look at the Amazon EC2 beta program. There’s still people wanted for that (http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/features/ec2).
